I am fortunate in that I knew I wanted to be a chemist from an early age. I found the idea of mixing things together to produce something new fascinating. After I received my first real chemistry set at 13 years old, I was hooked. Even to this day, I still experience the same fascination when I study a chemical process. 把这种感觉传递给下一代科学家的愿望是我来到浩博体育app的原因.

Here at SU, 我能够在课堂上和本科生合作研究中与年轻科学家互动. 苏大的小班授课让我与学生有了更多的个人联系,并为我提供了充足的机会来激发有趣的科学话题的对话.

Through my research, I guide aspiring scientists in the transition from student to researcher, 看着他们在各个领域发展必要的精神和身体技能. I think that’s the greatest thing about a degree in chemistry from a liberal arts college. 中心课程允许学生从各种不同的角度思考问题. 这造就了更好的科学家和毕业生,他们很可能在与专业没有直接关系的职业道路上取得成功. 我本科就读的是一所文理学院,我每天都能感受到这种教育的好处.

When I am not in the classroom or the lab, I enjoy spending time outdoors in the beautiful landscapes surrounding campus.

Research:

The synthesis, characterization, 三吡唑硼酸酯(Tp)配体第一排过渡金属配合物的氧化还原性质.
我们合成了一系列通式为Tp的金属配合物并对其进行了表征PhNi(X),以确定第4基团X对镍中心氧化还原性能的影响. These complexes have a Ni2+/1+ reduction that can be observed through cyclic voltammetry (CV). 我们目前正在改变Tp配体上的取代,以确定对还原电位的影响.

The synthesis, characterization, and redox properties of first-row transition metal complexes with Janus head ligands.
双面头配体是一类配体,具有两组方向相反的给体原子. 我们感兴趣的是使用这类配体来产生双金属配合物,以研究彼此接近的多种金属的氧化还原性质. 我们目前正在研究苯基双(2-吡啶基)膦与第一排过渡金属的配位化学. 目的是利用这种Janus头配体合成双金属配合物并确定其电化学性质
