Renewable: New Opportunities from One of Life’s Most Ancient Chemical Tools
Anne-Frances Miller, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky, is serving as the 2022-23 College of Arts and Sciences’ Distinguished Professor and will deliver the annual Distinguished Professor Lecture Monday, May 1.
The lecture, titled “Renewable: New Opportunities from one of Life’s Most Ancient Chemical Tools,” will begin at 5 p.m. in the William T. Young Library Athletic Auditorium. A reception will follow at 6 p.m. in the Alumni Gallery in the library.
The lecture will explore better ways to extract energy from abundant renewable resources.
“What if we had to survive on 18 times less energy?” Miller asks in her description of the lecture. “Ancient microbes have been doing so for almost 3 billion years, so the Miller lab turned to them for some tips.”
The Distinguished Professor Lecture is free and open to the public.
