MITCOC Presents: Faculty Speaker Reception with Nobel Laureate Professor Moungi Bawendi - Quantum Dots & Unexpected Applications

Have you ever wondered how technologies like LEDs, solar cells, and biomedical imaging became so advanced? The answer lies in a groundbreaking discovery in quantum dot research by Professor Moungi Bawendi, one of the most influential chemists of our era.

Quantum dots—tiny semiconducting crystals with remarkable optical and electronic properties—have transformed numerous industries. Central to this revolution was Professor Bawendi's pioneering hot-injection synthesis method, which enabled the production of high-quality, uniform quantum dots on a large scale. This innovation gave scientists an unprecedented ability to fine-tune these materials, tailoring their properties with precision for specific applications.

Today, Professor Bawendi's work drives advancements in a wide array of technologies, from vibrant LED displays to life-saving biomedical imaging tools. His research exemplifies how visionary science can open up limitless possibilities across industries.

Professor Moungi Bawendi, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at MIT, has dedicated his career to exploring the science and applications of nanocrystals, particularly semiconductor nanocrystals—better known as quantum dots. Born in Paris, he moved to the United States as a child and went on to earn his bachelor's and master's degrees from Harvard University, followed by a PhD in chemistry from the University of Chicago. After completing postdoctoral research at Bell Labs, he joined MIT's chemistry faculty in 1990. In 2023, Professor Bawendi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry as a co-recipient for his "discovery and synthesis of quantum dots."

Professor Bawendi’s groundbreaking contributions continue to inspire and shape the future of science and technology.

join us for an evening with Professor and Nobel Prize winner Moungi Bawendi on May 13th from 6-8pm at McAndrews Held and Malloy, 500 West Madison, 35th Floor, Chicago, IL. A wine and cheese reception to follow. Registrants that want to participate virtually will receive details on May 10th.

Book Club: The Exceptions: Nancy Hopkins, MIT, and the Fight for Women in Science

by Kate Zernike

A New York Times Notable Book

“Gripping…one puts down the book inspired by the women’s grit, tenacity, and brilliance.” —Science
“Riveting.” —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene

In 1963, a female student was attending a lecture given by Nobel Prize winner James Watson, then tenured at Harvard. At nineteen, she was struggling to define her future. She had given herself just ten years to fulfill her professional ambitions before starting the family she was expected to have. For women at that time, a future on the usual path of academic science was unimaginable—but during that lecture, young Nancy Hopkins fell in love with the promise of genetics. Confidently believing science to be a pure meritocracy, she embarked on a career.

In 1999, Hopkins, now a noted molecular geneticist and cancer researcher at MIT, divorced and childless, found herself underpaid and denied the credit and resources given to men of lesser rank. Galvanized by the flagrant favoritism, Hopkins led a group of sixteen women on the faculty in a campaign that prompted MIT to make the historic admission that it had long discriminated against its female scientists. The sixteen women were a formidable group: their work has advanced our understanding of everything from cancer to geology, from fossil fuels to the inner workings of the human brain. And their work to highlight what they called “21st-century discrimination”—a subtle, stubborn, often unconscious bias—set off a national reckoning with the pervasive sexism in science.

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who broke the story, The Exceptions chronicles groundbreaking science and a history-making fight for equal opportunity. It is the “excellent and infuriating” (The New York Times) story of how this group of determined, brilliant women used the power of the collective and the tools of science to inspire ongoing radical change. And it offers an intimate look at the passion that drives discovery, and a rare glimpse into the competitive, hierarchical world of elite science—and the women who dared to challenge it.

Event Details

Join us for our Family Friendly Bike and Brunch in the suburbs on Saturday June 14th at 9:30am to 11:30am. We will bike the Forest Preserve, a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering miles of scenic trails for biking, hiking, and running. Located just a short distance from the River Forest Metra stop, it's the perfect place for an easy bike ride through the woods. Along the way, we may see deer, foxes, and other wildlife.

Please RSVP to let us know if you are going to make it. If it is raining we will reschedule. Please also bring a bike lock and water to hydrate.

This will be an intermediate bike ride and suitable for all skill levels. The trails are smooth, well-maintained and run along the Des Plaines river. We will follow along the Des Plaines River to Robinson Park. The park is named after Alexander Robinson, the English name of Potawatomi chief Chee-chee-pin-quay, born in 1787.The trek will be 20 miles and will take us up to Park Ridge where we can stop for brunch.
