Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972 Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University, 1972-1973

Professor McFadden’s research involved kinetics and dynamics of free radical and electron attachment reactions in the gas phase. As chair of the Chemistry Undergraduate Studies Committee, he plays an active and integral role in the development of undergraduate curricula and research opportunity programs. Professor McFadden also teaches physical and introductory chemistry and advanced instrumentation laboratory to undergraduates.
