Ph.D. - Ohio State University (Physical Chemistry) B.A. - University of Colorado at Boulder (Chemistry)

As a Physical Chemist, I have a broad range of interests and responsibilities. Most recently, I have worked with several graduate and undergraduate students doing some molecular modeling and kinetics research on organic compounds. I also participate in the development of novel Physical Chemistry education projects and in program evaluations.
