Associate Professor

Research Interests

My research is in the field of conjugated polymers and small molecules for use in organic electronics. The conjugated systems of these materials gives them semiconducting properties, which allows us to use them in place of silicon in solar cells, large area displays (TVs), solid-state lighting, and transistor technologies. Because the semiconductors are plastics,... Read more »

Associate Professor

Research: My research interests are largely Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SotL) based, including the incorporation of pseudoscience-based projects in support of information literacy, and the support of student mental health in the classroom. I am also working on using and developing Open Educational Resources (OERs) for use in the chemistry classroom.Read more »

Associate Professor

Research Interests

My research interests are in the realm of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) specifically with projects designed to 1) help students learn chemistry concepts and critical thinking through writing, peer review and self-assessment and 2) help students master the math content necessary for the Survey of Chemistry course (pre-nursing chemistry) regardless of...

Research Interests

My research is focused on exploring the dynamics and structure of unique sol-gel materials. Sol-gel chemistry offers a convenient and inexpensive way to make optically transparent silicate glasses formed from room temperature that are of both fundamental and technological interest in material science. Some of the research ideas my group explores are: Biogels as... Read more »

Associate Professor, Department Chair

Research Interests

My main research interest lies in the synthesis of pharmaceutically active natural products. Students involved in this work will run reactions and purify and characterize products. Our current target is an anti-cancer drug isolated from the fruits and bark of tree. I am also interested in the development of molecularly imprinted polymers for use in chemical... Read more »

Associate Dean and Professor

Research Interests

Use and improvement of commercial in situ chemical sensors (phosphate, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, etc.) for environmental monitoring. Development of new chemical sensor technologies (smartphone-integrated and/or microcontroller-based devices, microglow discharge instruments, magnetoelastic resonance sensors, etc.). Utilization of catalysis and... Read more »
