This talk will discuss how single molecule fluorescence and super-resolution imaging can be used to interrogate the effects of lo cal heating on the surface of plasmonic nanostructures as well as recent p rogress towards the development of a nanothermometry technique capable of reporting on quantitative temperature with <20 nm spatial resolution.\n\nB io:\n\nKatherine (Kallie) Willets is the Robert L. Smith Early Career Prof essor in the Department of Chemistry at Temple University.  She received a B.A. in Chemistry from Dartmouth College in 1999\, performing undergradua te research in the labs of both Charles L. Braun and Jane E.G. Lipson.  Af ter graduation\, she moved to Stanford University to pursue her Ph.D. in t he lab of W.E. Moerner\, receiving her degree in Physical Chemistry in 200 5.  From 2005-2007\, she conducted postdoctoral research with Richard Van Duyne at Northwestern University before beginning her independent faculty career at the University of Texas at Austin in 2007.  In 2015\, she moved to Temple University in Philadelphia\, where she runs a research lab focus ing on understanding heterogeneity at nanoscale interfaces. She has been r ecognized with an Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigat or Award and a Department of Energy Early Career Award and served as a mem ber of the Defense Science Study Group.  In addition to her research effor ts\, Willets has received multiple teaching awards and currently runs seve ral programs aimed at strengthening the climate within Chemistry to promot e a more inclusive\, welcoming and equitable environment.\n DTSTART:20220118T180000Z DTEND:20220118T193000Z LOCATION:Zoom link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/89641116903?pwd=RUV3LzlkOHhrcS 9NenpsZHJ5MUxndz09 SUMMARY:Chemical Society Seminar: Kallie Willets - Feeling hot\, hot\, hot: how single molecules report temperature-dependent processes on plasmonic nanoparticle surfaces URL:/chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar -kallie-willets-feeling-hot-hot-hot-how-single-molecules-report-temperatur e-333772 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
