This se minar will highlight our efforts to molecularly engineer electrically cond uctive metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and related porous materials that i ntegrate molecular recognition\, charge transport\, and programmable funct ionality within a single platform. By controlling framework composition\, electronic structure\, and the underlying substrate within the device\, we establish structure–property relationships that govern chemical sensing\, molecular capture\, and selective electronic response. Examples of applic ations include conductive framework materials for low-power chemical sensi ng and multifunctional textiles capable of simultaneously capturing hazard ous gases\, while electronically reporting their chemical state. These sys tems illustrate how molecular engineering can transform porous materials f rom passive sorbents into multifunctional interfaces capable of simultaneo us sensing\, filtration\, and detoxification.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nKatherine wa s born and raised in Ukraine and emigrated with her family to the United S tates as she was starting high school.  She obtained her B.S. in Chemistry at Boston College\, where she developed a passion for Materials Chemistry \, working in the laboratory of Larry Scott. She earned her Ph.D. in Chemi stry from Harvard University under the guidance of George Whitesides and c ompleted her postdoctoral training with Tim Swager at the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology. Katherine began her independent scientific career a s an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Dartmouth Colle ge in July 2015 and was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 202 1. Since 2022\, she has been serving as an Associate Editor of ACS Sensors .\n DTSTART:20260908T170000Z DTEND:20260908T183000Z LOCATION:OM 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Event 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Chemical Society Seminar Series- Katherine A.
