DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nConjugated organic materials such as conductive po
 lymers and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are quickly becoming ind
 ispensable for technologies such as photovoltaics\, light emitting diodes 
 and field effect transistors. Therefore\, efficient assembly and depositio
 n of these materials is an important goal. Advancing synthetic strategies 
 provide a direct way to streamline synthesis\, render new architectures sy
 nthetically accessible and control the material properties. This talk will
  discuss our recent efforts developing a dehydration polymerization strate
 gy to access novel\, heterocycle-containing\, conjugated polymers as well 
 as a synthetic 'bottom-up' approach for the simultaneous sorting and align
 ment of SWNTs.\n\nBio:\n\nDerek J. Schipper is an assistant professor and 
 Tier II Canada Research Chair in Organic Materials Synthesis at the Univer
 sity of Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada. He received his Bachelor of Science d
 egree from the University of Prince Edward Island which was followed by hi
 s doctoral studies at the University of Ottawa. Subsequently\, he carried 
 out his postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology bef
 ore beginning his independent career in late 2013. Since then\, his resear
 ch activities are focused on tackling synthetic challenges in the context 
 of conjugated organic materials.\n
