Background

My interest in science was kindled at a young age by science fiction stories, comic books, and 《星际迷航:下一代. My fondness for chemistry developed in high school, where I was fortunate to have a skilled and devoted chemistry teacher. While working on my doctorate in West Lafayette, 印第安纳州, I discovered a deep satisfaction in mentoring collegiate students. I am grateful to be called to serve as a faculty member at WLC.

Outside of my academic duties and service activities, I am blessed to be a husband and father. My family enjoys many activities together, such as drawing, traveling, and playing tabletop games.  My family is also actively involved in our church, and we volunteer our time in support of many different aspects of ministry.

作为WLC的教授, my goal is to help students gain the chemical knowledge they will need to be successful, both in their chosen career path and as an educated citizen. I prefer using group learning activities to keep students actively involved and to promote critical thinking skills, since college is a time to hone the problem solving, 人际关系, and individual learning skills that students will need throughout their lives.

研究兴趣

The chemistry department at WLC has several analytical techniques at its disposal, 包括质谱分析, 光谱学(UV-VIS, IR, 和荧光), 原子吸收光谱学, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. I have developed interdisciplinary collaborations with other departments to apply the aforementioned techniques (along with their associated chemical knowledge) to experimental reSearch questions in these other disciplines. 例如, I worked with undergraduate reSearchers to assist colleagues in anthropology and biology in performing a toxicological analysis of a skeletonized cadaver (see publications).

I am very interested in how students learn and in finding the best pedagogies that assist students in learning. To that end, I am actively involved in the scholarship of teaching and learning. This includes my use (and analysis) of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in the chemistry classroom.

Students often have their own reSearch interests. I am always willing to talk to students about their interests and develop reSearch projects that are exciting for both the student and me.
