Curriculum Vitae

C OURSES T AUGHT Undergraduate

• Quantitative Chemical Analysis (average enrollment 70-100 students) : The course material covers error analysis, in-depth volumetric analysis and a brief survey of electrochemical, spectrophotometric and chromatographic analyses. • Principles of Instrumental Analysis with Laboratory (10-20 students) : The course covers the principles/theoretical basis of instruments for atomic, fluorescence and absorption spectroscopies, as well as those for mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, and chromatography. • Introduction to communicating your research (summer course for REU students) : Techniques for communicating with broad audiences and figure making were emphasized to help students present their summer research at a large interdisciplinary poset session at the summers terminus. • Undergraduate research experience Graduate • Principles of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy : The course introduced students to basic continuous wave EPR instrumentation, the theory behind the instrument response and basic data interpretation. Additionally more advanced modern techniques were covered including pulsed EPR methods (e.g. electron spin envelope echo modulation (ESEEM) and electron-electron double resonance (DEER)), as well as electron-nuclear double resonance techniques. • Bioanalytical Chemistry : This course introduced graduate students to historical and modern methodologies for quan- titative and qualitative analysis of biological macromolecules. Emphasis is placed on un- derstanding the chemical and instrumental theories upon which these techniques are based. • Biological Spectroscopy : I teach 1/3 of this interdisciplinary course covering vibrational and polarimetric analysis of protein structure. • Science Communication : This course covered topics related to strategies for communicating science in general. Specif- ically, how to craft an oral messages for both formal and informal discourse, how to sell your science, elevator pitch training, telling your science as a story to engage your audience, in- troduction to advanced figure making and how to communicate science visually, as well as a rigorous weekly back and forth of writing and editing between the PI and the students.
