Each year, the East Midlands regional committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry arrange for a European, research-active chemist to deliver a public lecture. The Griess Lecture is so named after the late German chemist, Peter Griess, whose eponymous test for nitrites is still used in forensic science. Griess was laid to rest in nearby Burton upon Trent, having spent his later life working at Samuel Allsopp & Sons brewery.
This year, we're delighted to host the lecture of Professor Paola Ceroni from University of Bologna.
Compounds which are able to absorb light and then channel the energy to where it is needed for chemical reactions to occur are called light-harvesting complexes. Examples in nature include chlorophylls in plants which facilitate photosynthesis. Here, internationally renowned photochemist Professor Paola Ceroni presents her work investigating two different types of light-harvesting complex.
The lecture is open to members of the public as well as staff & students. If you wish to book a place, please use the form on our website.
