Connor Bischak, University of Utah RPT

Chemistry-Seminars RPT Chemistry Seminar with Connor Bischak, University of Utah TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Title: Harnessing Structural Dynamics in Emerging Semiconductors Abstract: Static semiconductors, like silicon, powered the first century of semiconductor technology, but emerging frontiers now demand dynamic, adaptable semiconductors. For example, bioelectronics, neuromorphic computing, and reconfigurable photonics require semiconductors that adapt to their environment or change their optical properties on demand. In this talk, I will show how our group probes and then controls structural dynamics in two families of emerging semiconductor materials, conjugated polymer mixed conductors and hybrid metal halides. First, I will show how tuning polymer morphology and ion chemistry dictates how ionic and electronic charge carriers move through conjugated polymer mixed conductors using nanoscale imaging, in situ spectroscopies, and high-throughput robotic platforms driven by machine learning.

Adaptive navigation in bacteria and flies Successful chemical navigation requires organisms to continuously adapt their strategies to evolving signal statistics and environmental context. Both the extraction and utilization of sensory information are dynamically regulated over time. I will present experiments investigating how bacteria and fruit flies implement such adaptive strategies. Specifically, I will show how an isogenic bacterial population leverages the interplay between phenotypic diversity and collective migration to optimize its navigational behavior across varying environments. If time permits I will conclude by discussing how fruit flies modulate their reliance on distinct directional cues derived from the same signal when navigating toward an odor source under different wind conditions.

Lessons for a Warming Planet: A Vital History of U.S. Environmental Law

Wilkes Center The relationship between humans and the environment in the United States reflects tales of countless contrasting and overlapping trends, movements, and tensions. Law has cultivated both the planet’s biggest environmental threats and its most creative innovations for protecting human and ecological health. U.S. laws have driven both exploitation and temperance; destruction and restoration; and resistance and adaptation. Lessons for a Warming Planet showcases the fundamental role the law has served in reckoning with environmental harm in the United States. Authors Alejandro E. Camacho and Brigham Daniels explore the full arc of U.S. environmental legal history across five major periods in the United States, reaching as far back as North America’s colonization and ending with the present. Through this rich history, the book considers the ways leadership, social movements, political coalitions, information, and technologies have both been catalyzed by the law and have advanced environmental change. Wednesday, September 16, 2026, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM. Wilkes Center for Climate Science & Policy L. S. Skaggs Applied Science Building, Suite W1204 275 S. University Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84112.

"Knowns, Unknowns, and Living Stones: What We Do and Don’t Know About Great Salt Lake's Microbialites" Description:  In addition to birds, brine shrimp, halophilic microbes, and nematodes, Great Salt Lake is home to a spectacular community of microbialites. These lumpy beige rocks host a diverse microbial ecosystem that forms a vital piece of the lake's food web but are under threat as the lake shrinks. Beyond their modern ecological role, the lake's microbialites serve as complex paleoenvironmental records and may offer clues to understanding the early evolution of life on Earth. This talk will explore what we know, what we think we know, and highlight critical gaps in our understanding of Great Salt Lake's microbialites. Host: Michael Werner. Event Categories: Seminars.

Chemistry-Seminars Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Ming-Yu Ngai, Purdue University TBBC 4630 4th floor - Thatcher In-person seminar Title: Excited-State Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Abstract: The development of efficient strategies for the synthesis and diversification of complex molecules remains a central challenge in organic chemistry. The Ngai laboratory seeks to address this challenge by developing new approaches to build and modify molecules, with the long-term vision of turning light into medicine. Our research focuses on the use of visible-light-driven excited-state catalysis to transiently reprogram molecular reactivity and enable transformations that are difficult to achieve under conventional ground-state conditions. By combining photochemistry, radical reactivity, and transition-metal catalysis, we aim to establish general platforms for selective bond construction and late-stage functionalization of structurally complex molecules. These efforts include the development of new catalytic… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC). Room Name/Number: TBBC 4630 (Thatcher 4th floor).
