Teaching
My main teaching interests are instrumental and quantitative analysis, and laboratory safety. I believe that context-based assignments make the lab experience meaningful and practical; they are a fun and effective way to equip students with the skills they need in their future careers. I try to incorporate examples from everyday life in my teaching.
Field of Study: Chemistry
Specialties: Chemistry & Biochemistry Education, Analytical Chemistry, Laboratory Safety
Classes
- CHEM 400A-Instrumental Analysis Laboratory
- CHEM 405A/505A-Basic Laboratory Safety
- CHEM 405B/505B-Advanced Laboratory Safety
- CHEM 405C/505C-Chemical Hygiene and Regulations
Scholarly Activities
Although much of my time and effort is concentrated on teaching and department administrative activities, I am constantly looking for ways to enhance my courses.
Examples include:
- Development of novel, relevant experiments for the instrumental analysis lab
- Foster positive safety culture and attitude through courses and the undergraduate Safety Certificate program
