Research Interest

My interest lies in the areas of materials and inorganic chemistry, encompassing areas of alternative energies such as energy storage, photovoltaics, and fuel cells. Solutions to the problems in these research areas are dominated by engineering solutions and rarely by chemical solutions. My work explores novel and low-temperature synthesis routes of solid-state oxide and oxynitride materials for use as photocatalysts.

On the education side, I have a long history of teaching and outreach in high school, college, and throughout the community. While very few of us persue chemistry or even science as a career, chemistry truly central to our understanding and improvement of our shared environment. As an instructor for General Chemistry lecture and labs at ESF, I have developed interactive, guided inquiry exercises for the lecture and laboratory with a focus on energy and the environment. These experiences help develop critical thinking and organizational skills, essential for college students in General Chemistry. I am an active member of the vibrant outreach community at ESF and the local of the American Chemical Society.
