Dr. Andino (Jos茅) completed three years of chemistry studies at the University of El Salvador in the School of Chemistry and Pharmacy before transferring to the University of Louisville as a Fulbright undergraduate scholar and completed a BS degree in Chemistry with concentration in Biotechnology in 1997. He returned to Louisville to obtain a PhD degree with emphasis in organometallic chemistry in 2005. After this he served as a postdoctoral associate and a research associate at Indiana University until 2012. Jos茅 started his teaching career at Lamar University (Beaumont, TX) and taught General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for two years. During this time Jos茅 collaborated with colleagues in an interdisciplinary effort to revamp the curricula of entry-level chemistry courses to encourage group-oriented project-based learning of chemistry. Jos茅 joined the General Chemistry teaching faculty at the University of Illinois in 2014.
