There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Title: A personal journey through my chiral world
Abstract: With my first classes Organic Chemistry in Groningen during the period of 1972-1975, I fell in love with stereochemistry and the chiral world around us. In my PhD with Professor Hans Wynberg, I was able to study many novel aspects in chirality; a research filed I always kept close to my heart even during my days in industry. In the lecture I will give an overview of our science in stereochemistry. From a historical perspective and the challenges of today, I hope to show my excitement for science and how chirality cannot only provide details on complex molecular systems but can also be used for unexpected novel aspects in material science and molecular synthesis.
