ACS Macro Letters 10th Anniversary Webinar Series:
Polymer Physics/Physical Chemistry

In celebration of ACS Macro Letters 10th anniversary, we are hosting a quarterly webinar. We have invited a panel of speakers with a variety of expertise focusing on different topics within polymer science.

Join us on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2021 at 10:00AM EST for the first installment of the series. Tim Lodge (University of Minnesota), Jian Ping Gong (Hokkaido University), and Dimitris Vlassopoulos (University of Crete IESL-FORTH) will be speaking on Polymer Physics/Physical Chemistry. Afterwards, there will be a Q&A session with Editor-in-Chief, Stuart J. Rowan, and Associate Editors, Ryan Hayward, Rachel Segalman, and Marcus Mueller.

Who you'll hear from:
Tim Lodge
University of Minnesota

Tim Lodge received B.A. in Applied Mathematics (Harvard) and a PhD in Chemistry (Wisconsin). He joined the Minnesota faculty in 1982, and was named a Regents Professor in 2013. He received the 2004 APS Polymer Physics Prize, the 2010 ACS Prize in Polymer Chemistry, and the POLY Division Hermann Mark (2015) and Paul Flory Education Awards. In 2016 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. From 2001–2017 Tim served as Editor of Macromolecules from 2001-2017, and in 2011 he became the founding Editor for ACS Macro Letters. His research interests center on the structure and dynamics of polymer liquids, including solutions, gels, melts, blends, and block copolymers.

She joined the faculty at Hokkaido University in 1993. She works on tough double network hydrogels, self-healing hydrogels, hydrogel friction and adhesion, hydrogel composites. Recently, she is also working on self-growing hydrogels, thermal stiffening hydrogels, marine adhesive hydrogels, and memorizing-forgetting hydrogels. She received Wiley Polymer Science Award (2001), The Award of the Society of Polymer Science, Japan (2006), The Chemical Society of Japan Award (2011), The DSM Materials Sciences Award (2014), the MEXT Commendation for Science and Technology, Japan (2019). 
Dimitris Vlassopoulos
University of Crete, IESL-FORTH

Diploma, Chemical Engineering, NTU Athens, 1983; PhD, Chemical Engineering, Princeton,1990. Mobil R&D (1990-1992), FORTH (1992-), University of Crete, Materials Science & Technology (2002-).  Weissenberg Award (2015), Bingham Medal (2019), Fellow, SOR (2018), APS (2019). European Editor Rheologica Acta (2006-2011), Associate Editor Soft Matter (2015-).

The underlying research theme is the molecular engineering of soft matter by devising strategies based on the design of model systems with adaptable molar mass, macromolecular architecture or tunable interactions and bridging polymers and colloids. Current topics include nonlinear rheometry, ring and branched polymers, supramolecular assemblies, thick polymers, soft colloidal mixtures.
