NY Systems Chemistry

Registration for this event is now closed.

Event Description

Systems Chemistry involves networks of reacting interacting molecules. Within such mixtures, links between chemical properties and observed behavior are no longer obvious and become rich in functionality, as exemplified by ecosystems and living systems.

 

The symposium will bring together a diverse group of scientists who study chemical systems to better understand nature, and ultimately, to produce materials and products with new functions that cannot be achieved using traditional chemistry approaches.
