By en capsulating specialized light-converting molecules in protective silica sh ells\, we can trigger photopolymerization deep within printing resins usin g laser powers orders of magnitude lower than existing methods. This appro ach not only dramatically reduces energy requirements but also enables fle xible printing strategies\, from single-point precision to parallel proces sing\, which opens new possibilities for scalable nanomanufacturing.\n\nRe ad more:\n\nTechnical review article: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021 /acsnano.3c00543\n\nResearch article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s415 86-022-04485-8\n\nIEEE Spectrum article: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstr act/document/10271352\n\n[]\n\nSpeaker:\n\nTracy Schloemer\n\nArnold O. Be ckman Postdoctoral Fellow\n\nDepartment of Electrical Engineering\; Congre ve Lab\n\nStanford University\n\nTracy H. Schloemer is currently an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University in the Department o f Electrical Engineering\, advised by Prof. Dan Congreve.\n\nShe earned he r B.S. in Chemistry and M.A. in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Afterwards\, she taught high school chemistry in D enver\, Colorado\, focusing on active learning pedagogies like project-bas ed learning so her students could “do science\, not just learn about sci ence.”\n\nShe was so effective at persuading her students to pursue STEM careers that she accidentally convinced herself to do the same. She later earned her Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines i n 2019\, where she focused on organic semiconductor design for improved op erational durability of perovskite solar cells under Prof. Alan Sellinger and in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Lab.\n\nHer resear ch has been published in numerous interdisciplinary journals and featured in prominent media outlets\, such as the BBC Podcast “The Naked Scientis t.” Her work has also been recognized through several awards\, including a fellowship from the Knowles Teaching Initiative\, selection for the CAS Future Leaders Program from the American Chemical Society (ACS)\, a fello wship from the Arnold O. Beckman Foundation\, and the ACS Polymeric Materi als: Science and Engineering (PMSE) 2024 Future Faculty Award\n\nHer inter ests outside the lab include hiking and cheering on all University of Mich igan “sportsball” teams.\n\nAGENDA:\n\nThursday June 19\, 2025\n\n11:3 0 AM: Networking\, Pizza & Drinks\n\nNoon -- 1 pm: Seminar\n\nPlease regis ter on Eventbrite before 9:30 AM on Thursday June 19\, 2025\n\n$4 IEEE mem bers $6 non IEEE members\n\n(discounts for unemployed and students )\n\nSe e examplesAdd\n\nCo-sponsored by: 636940-Santa Clara Valley Section Chapte r\,EMB18\n\nBldg: ==> Use corner entrance: Kifer Road / San Lucar Court == > Do not enter at main entrance on Kifer Road\, EAG Labs\, 810 Kifer Road\ , Sunnyvale\, California\, California\, United States\, 95051 LOCATION:Bldg: ==> Use corner entrance: Kifer Road / San Lucar Court ==> Do not enter at main entrance on Kifer Road\, EAG Labs\, 810 Kifer Road\, Su nnyvale\, California\, California\, United States\, 95051 ORGANIZER:G.M.Friedman@ieee.org SEQUENCE:63 SUMMARY:Harnessing Light for 3D Printing with Upconversion URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/488602 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="eds-l-mar-vert-6 eds-l-sm-mar-ver t-4 eds-text-bm structured-content-rich-text">\n<div class="eds-text--left ">\n<h1 class="event-title css-0"><strong>Harnessing Light for 3D Printing with Upconversion</strong></h1>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div cla ss="eds-l-mar-vert-6 eds-l-sm-mar-vert-4 eds-text-bm structured-content-ri ch-text">\n<div class="eds-text--left">\n<p><strong><img src="https://even ts.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/7a48c6a3-1239-4fec-96b5-50c934e ab8cd" alt="" width="667" height="547"></strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>< strong>Abstract:</strong></p>\n<h3>Precision manufacturing at the nanoscal e faces a fundamental energy bottleneck: achieving the resolution needed f or next-generation devices requires laser powers so high they severely lim it throughput and scalability.</h3>\n<h3>In this talk\, I will present a b reakthrough solution developed at Harvard and Stanford using triplet-tripl et annihilation upconversion\, a process where two low-energy photons crea te one high-energy photon.
