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.

Whether as guests in the bistro or enjoying a five-course menu in the restaurant, while shopping in the Magazin, or when planning your event with us." (Credit: Margarete website) 
• Oosten Realwirtschaft am Main: "‘Fooding am Main’ combines high-quality food with a modern, cultural lifestyle. In the centre of Frankfurt, we are creating a unique environment where innovative cuisine, local ingredients and a relaxed atmosphere come together. It is an invitation to experience and celebrate culinary delights in all their facets." (Credit: Oosten website) 

Frankfurt is a vibrant city with plenty to do for everyone. If you have time in Frankfurt beyond the AGM, perhaps one or more of the following may be of interest to you:  

• The Senckenberg Natural History Museum has been highly recommended by one of our alums for both adults and children 
• If the Senckenberg isn't quite your style, you have 38 more museums to choose from -- all part of the Museumsufer Frankfurt (although not all are directly on the riverbank) representing nationally and internationally important museums and art galleries  
• Römerberg, the heart of the medieval "Altstadt" is always worth a visit, even though the beautiful half-timber buildings you view today are mostly reconstructed
• Palmengarten, the Frankfurt Botanical Garden, is likely to be an exceptional draw with the typically-mild temperatures of late May
