Research
Independent research provides more than merely an
opportunity for the students to build their knowledge
of chemistry. It provides the students an opportunity
to develop problem solving skills, to be creative,
and to improve both written and verbal skills. Presenting
results at local, regional or national meetings or
publishing results in the chemical literature provides
the students with a sense of accomplishment. These
results are not only contributing to the students
understanding of chemistry, but also providing new
information to the scientific community. My current
research interests can be divided to two categories:
Developing
Undergraduate Laboratory Experiments
Environmental
Study of Water Quality in Central West Virginia
College Wide Activities
Faculty Senate
Academic Affairs Committee
Faculty Advisor of Student Affiliates of the American
Chemical Society
Professional Organizations
American
Chemistry Society
Council
on Undergraduate Research
Recent Grants
A grant for $6,000 was received from the Spectroscopy
Society of Pittsburgh in May 2002 for the purchase
of an atomic
absorption spectrometer.
