Chemical Education Inorganic Chemistry Materials Chemistry


About

I manage the curriculum, administration, and supervision of the laboratory component of the inorganic chemistry (CHEM 241 and 343) and inorganic materials chemistry (CHEM 333) courses.


Teaching

As an organometallic chemist with a strong interest in chemical education, my main focus is developing a modern, interesting, and challenging lab experience for students studying inorganic and materials chemistry. Ongoing lines of inquiry include the development of new experiments which demonstrate the key techniques and characterization methods used by synthetic inorganic and materials chemists, the introduction of new technologies to the lab (including web-based exercises and other computer-assisted activities), and the training of teaching assistants to provide a well-run and stimulating educational environment for their students.  More recently, I have developed an interest in sustainable chemistry and participate in the Green Chemistry Teaching & Learning Community.
