Chemistry Department
Faculty
- David
G. Alberg
- Associate Professor and Chair; Carleton, B.A.; California (Berkeley),
Ph.D. In addition to teaching biochemistry and organic chemistry, Alberg does
research in molecular recognition and enzymology, especially the design of
enzyme inhibitors.
-
- Charles
Carlin
- Professor Emeritus; Carthage, B.A.; Johns Hopkins, M.A., Ph.D. Carlin
teaches organic chemistry and is studying the synthesis of chiral catalysts.
-
- Marion
E. Cass
- Professor; Fort Lewis College, B.S.; Colorado, Ph.D. Cass,
who teaches introductory and inorganic chemistry, as well as laboratory courses
in inert-atmosphere synthesis, kinetics, and spectroscopy, studies the factors
that determine specificity for a given metal ion in naturally-occurring metal
ion sequestering agents.
-
- Joseph W. Chihade
- Assistant Professor; Oberlin, B. A.; Columbia University,
Ph. D. Chihade teaches organic and biological chemistry and studies RNA binding
proteins and RNA structure.
- Steven
M. Drew
- Professor; St. John's, B.A.; Colorado,
Ph.D. Drew teaches analytical and introductory chemistry, and his research
involves the design of chemically modified microelectrodes.
-
- Tricia
A. Ferrett
- Professor; Grinnell, B.A.; California (Berkeley),
Ph.D. Ferrett, who teaches introductory and physical chemistry, is studying
the gas phase fragmentation of small molecules using synchrotron radiation.
-
- James E. Finholt
- Professor Emeritus; St. Olaf, B.A.; California (Berkeley),
Ph.D. Finholt is interested in the synthesis and reactions of transition metal
compounds.
-
- Deborah
S. Gross
- ON LEAVE 2005 - 2006. Associate Professor; Haverford, B.A.; California (Berkeley),
Ph.D. Gross teaches introductory, analytical and environmental chemistry,
and is interested in the chemistry of aerosol particles in the atmosphere.
- Gretchen E. Hofmeister
- Associate Professor; Carleton, B.A.; California (Berkeley),
Ph.D. In addition to teaching organic chemistry, Hofmeister does research
in metal-mediated organic synthesis and polymer chemistry.
- William
E. Hollingsworth
- Professor; Texas (Austin), B.A., B.S.; California (Berkeley),
M.S., Ph.D. Besides teaching introductory and physical chemistry, Hollingsworth's
interests involve using lasers to study photochemical and spectroscopic properties
of metal-containing molecules in the gas phase.
- Daniela Kohen
- Assistant Professor; Universidad de Buenos Aires, B.S.;
University of Notre Dame, Ph.D. Kohen teaches introductory and physical chemistry.
She is a theoretical and computational physical chemist, interested in the
general area of dynamics in condensed phase (how atoms and molecules move
and interact when they're not by themselves).
- Jerry
R. Mohrig
- Professor Emeritus; Michigan, B.S.; Colorado,
Ph.D. Mohrig teaches organic and bio-organic chemistry. His research is in
the area of reaction mechanisms, especially models of biochemical catalysis,
with emphasis on the stereochemistry of elimination-addition and proton-transfer
reactions.
- Jane M. Owens
- Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry; William Smith College, B.S.; Illinois (Urbana-Champaign) Ph.D. Owens teaches introductory and physical chemistry. Her research uses computational methods to study the molecular dynamics of photochemical processes.
