American Chemical Society (ACS) Applied Electronic Materials recently welcomed 8 newly appointed members from around the globe to its Early Career Board (ECB). The ECB was put together to bring fresh perspectives and new expertise to help shape the future of electronic materials research. Dr. Connor Bischack, Assistant Professor at the University of Utah Chemistry Department, has been selected as one of the accomplished researchers chosen to serve on ECB and support the next generation of scientists.
According to ACS, “The ECB program provides a unique platform for early career researchers to engage with the journal, contribute to the editorial process, and gain valuable insights into scientific publishing. Over the course of their term, members will have the opportunity to work closely with our editors, exchange ideas on emerging research directions, and play an active role in strengthening the journal’s impact. Through these experiences, we hope they will develop meaningful professional relationships and expand their contributions to the global research community.”
Dr. Bischak earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Haverford College in 2010, before serving as a Fulbright Fellow at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. He went on to complete his graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley, where he investigated electronic materials using cathodoluminescence microscopy. Subsequently, he was a Washington Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow and a Cottrell Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington, with a focus on organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors. Professor Bischak now leads a research group at the University of Utah dedicated to exploring fundamental processes in organic and hybrid semiconductors.
Dr. Bischak shared with ACS: “I am excited to share that I have been selected to serve on the Early Career Board of ACS Applied Electronic Materials. This is an incredible opportunity to collaborate with peers, engage in meaningful research discussions, and advance the impact of material science on technology. I look forward to contributing actively and shaping the future of electronic materials.”
Congratulations, Dr. Bischak! We’re looking forward to seeing your continued impact on the collaborative and innovative world of research.
