DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIn the past two decades\, there have been many adv
 ances in the development of plasmonic nanoparticles for various applicatio
 ns such as chemical sensing\, photothermal therapy\, enhancement of photov
 oltaic device performance\, catalysis\, and optical communications. The mo
 st commonly used metals in plasmonic applications are gold\, silver\, and 
 copper\; however\, these can be expensive\, oxidatively and thermally unst
 able\, and suffer optical losses due to unwanted electronic transitions an
 d light scattering. Transition metal nitrides have been proposed as promis
 ing alternatives to metal-based plasmonic nanomaterials based upon their l
 ow cost and oxidative and thermal stabilities. This presentation will high
 light the recent progress in our research group on the synthesis of free-s
 tanding plasmonic transition metal nitride nanocrystals. The photothermal 
 efficiencies of these nanocrystals in the near-IR region and their use in 
 solar-driven water evaporation and desalination will also be discussed.\n
 \nBio:\n\nDr. Mita Dasog obtained her BSc in 2009 from the University of S
 askatchewan. She then moved to the University of Alberta to begin her PhD 
 studies with Dr. Jonathan Veinot where she focused on the syntheses\, prop
 erties\, and applications of silicon quantum dots. After a short stay at T
 echnical University of Munich as a Green Talents visiting scholar\, Dr. Da
 sog went on to hold an NSERC post-doctoral position with Dr. Nathan Lewis 
 at the California Institute of Technology\, where she is studied light-mat
 erial interactions. She joined the Dalhousie University Chemistry Departme
 nt in July 2016 as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Dasog was recognized as one
  of the top 150 Canadian women in STEM in 2017 by hEr VOLUTION\, a Toronto
  based non-profit organization. In 2019\, she received the Canadian Journa
 l of Chemistry Best Paper Award\, Dalhousie President’s Emerging Researche
 r Award\, and was selected to represent the element Si by IUPAC in celebra
 tion of the International Year of the Periodic Table.\n
