Michael Marty, UT-Austin

Chemistry-Seminars Analytical Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Michael Marty, UT-Austin TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Title: Using Mass Spectrometry to Characterize Heterogeneous Biomolecular Assemblies and Membrane Protein-Lipid Interactions, Abstract: Native mass spectrometry (MS) provides a powerful tool for characterizing biomolecular interactions by preserving noncovalent assemblies intact for mass analysis. Because MS measures mass divided by charge (m/z), we need some way to disentangle the mass and charge dimensions of the data. With well-resolved spectra, we can use either a known mass difference (such as an isotope spacing) or the charge state envelope to make the charge assignments. However, with highly heterogeneous species, such as virus particles or highly conjugated biotherapeutics, overlap between mass and charge states make it impossible to assign charges and thus impossible to determine the masses precisely. To overcome this challenge, charge detection-mass spectrometry… Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC). Room Name/Number: TBBC 4630 (Thatcher 4th floor). Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Presentation | Tyler Ball, Cornell

Chemistry-Seminars Chemistry Presentation at the University of Utah with Tyler Ball, Cornell TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Title: Radical Polymerization as a Route to Advanced Functional Materials, Abstract: Direct initiation of controlled radical polymerization from the C–H bonds of polymer surfaces is a useful strategy for imparting improved or novel properties to a material in the form of polymer brushes. The functionalization of nylon surfaces with well-defined polymer brushes would enable access to functional materials for advanced biomedical and industrial applications. To this end, we developed a surface-initiated hydrogen atom transfer reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (SI HAT-RAFT) polymerization to directly graft from nylon surfaces under mild conditions and explored the utility of our method for modifying surface properties by monitoring changes in hydrophilicity and protein adsorption. Furthermore, we explore the effect of oxygen on SI HAT-RAFT polymerization; using a visible-light… Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC). Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Chemistry-Seminars Inorganic/Material Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Jakoah Brgoch, University of Houston TBBC 4630 4th floor - Thatcher In-person seminar Title: Designing Superhard Materials Through Chemistry and Machine Learning  Abstract:  Superhard materials, defined by a Vickers hardness exceeding 40 GPa, are essential for advanced manufacturing and energy technologies. However, discovering compounds that combine exceptional hardness with resistance to thermal softening and oxidation remains a major challenge in materials chemistry. Traditional design rules offer limited quantitative guidance, while computational approaches struggle to predict hardness under varying loads and operating conditions. This talk describes how machine learning, solid-state synthesis, and characterization can establish predictive relationships among composition, structure, and mechanical response. An ensemble model trained on experimental measurements predicts load-dependent hardness, with experimental validation across a… Event Categories: Seminars.

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).

Technical Lecture: Quantifying the role of external drivers of climate change in extreme weather events

Wilkes Center Myles Allen, visiting Professor in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Department of Physics, at the University of Oxford, plans to give the following lecture: We have been studying how external drivers of climate change affect extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, floods or wildfires, for over 20 years (https://www.nature.com/articles/421891a) but this remains particularly challenging for rare and/or localised events — which also tend to be the ones that do the most damage. While we can seldom, if ever, assert “this event could not have happened without climate change” this does not mean there is nothing to be said. Conclusions must instead be based on changing probabilities. We explore a novel probabilistic approach to the event attribution problem, perturbing initial and boundary conditions of an operational ensemble forecast (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-48280-7). This starts from a forecasting system whose reliability is well documented, so we avoid using models to make stat… Thursday, October 8, 2026, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. L. S.

Public Reception and Lecture with Oxford Climate Scientist, Myles Allen: Can We Fix Fossil Fuels?

Solutions to climate change often focus on phasing out fossil fuels, replacing them with non-fossil alternatives, or even discouraging the activities that use them altogether. But this leaves out an important part of the story: in many pathways that limit global warming to well below 2°C (roughly 4°F) above pre-industrial levels, we continue to use oil and gas for decades. What changes is that instead of releasing the carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, we dispose of it permanently. There are many reasons to reduce our reliance on oil and gas, not least cost and security. But we also need to address what we will still use: we need to stop fossil fuels from causing global warming before the world stops using fossil fuels. Thursday, October 8, 2026, 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM.

Frontiers of Science Lecture featuring Martin Chalfie

Martin Chalfie, University Professor and former chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. Full bio: https://chalfielab.biology.columbia.edu/people/martin-chalfie In 1939, the first director of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Abraham Flexner, wrote an article in Harper's Magazine titled "The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge." Flexner questioned whether our idea of usefulness had become too narrow for the wide-ranging, unpredictable nature of human curiosity, arguing that real discovery happens when scientists are free to explore without needing to justify usefulness in advance. Several Nobel Prizes have gone to discoveries that emerged sideways from what researchers originally set out to study. Chalfie will argue that "useless knowledge" is as necessary today as ever for improving human health and well-being, and will offer thoughts on how we can create space for the unexpected discoveries that drive future scientific breakthroughs.

Chemistry-Seminars TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Title: Spectroscopy and Scattering Experiments on Flat Liquid Jets, Abstract: The dynamics of photoexcited solute molecules and the properties of liquid interfaces are studied by carrying out spectroscopy and scattering experiments on flat liquid water jets. In one set of experiments, solute dynamics are probed using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in which molecules are photoexcited with a femtosecond UV pulse and photoionized with a time-delayed femtosecond XUV pulse (at 21.7 eV). The time-dependent photoelectron spectra provide a unique probe of the relaxation of photoexcited neutral and anionic species in aqueous solution. Results will be presented for several negative ions including phenolate,1 bromophenolate, 2 and nitrophenolate. These experiments probe the competition among the various relaxation pathways including internal conversion, dissociation, and electron ejection. In complementary experiments, the liquid interface is explored in… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Monday, November 16, 2026, 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM. For more info visit sites.google.com.
