My research interests include transition metal coordination chemistry, pedagogical research and outreach-based research.
Copper(II) complexes of pyridine amide ligands - My graduate work convinced me that there are few things in the
world more elegant than a carefully designed and synthesized ligand.
I have been a geometry-geek since I was an innocent little
sophopmore in high school and between the design of organic ligands and
the preferred geometry of different transition metal ions, my inner
geometer revels in its geek-tasticness.
Pedagogical Research - In
addition to my transition metal chemistry research, I am also
interested in some more pedagogical projects. A new experiment for the
General Chemistry Lab? Let's give it a try! An alternate explanation of
some general chemistry or inorganic chemistry concept? It's worth a try!
Displays & Demonstrations - I've also developed project that will allow students
to participate in research earlier in their careers. I oversee
the public display cases for the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, and they are
very often not my top priority because of other demands on my time. I very often have interesting
ideas for new displays, and these ideas are rarely more complex than
Gen Chem level, so I will be recruiting a student or two to work on new
displays and in-class demonstrations.
Research Publications & Posters - Slowly growing since 1995...
Research Group Members - Where are they now?
