Postdoctoral research associates and graduate students associated with ND Energy affiliated faculty are invited to the monthly PD&GS Luncheon Seminars. Seminars are presented by group members about their research to facilitate cross-disciplinary research collaborations and to provide a forum whereby postdocs and graduate students may gain a better understanding of the energy-related research programs at Notre Dame.

Seminars also provide an opportunity for participants to practice their talks before a major conference and to obtain feedback from their peers.

Scheduled presentations for February's seminar are:

• "Bimetallic Phosphide Catalysts for Biomass Upgrading Reactions," by Yolanda Bonita (Hicks lab)
•  "Dual-Functionalized Nanofiltration Membranes Exhibit Multifaceted Anti-Fouling and Ion Rejection Performance," by John Hoffman (Phillip lab)
