| I am an organic chemist and chemistry teaching professional. I have gained experience in organic synthesis, college-level teaching, chemical analysis and scientific research during pursuit of my career. My graduate advisor was a student of Nobel laureat Sir D.H.R. Barton, one of the premier British chemists of our time. The main focus of my research has been the multi-step synthesis and characterization of natural products and molecules of biological significance and has also included the development of important synthetic methodology. In addition to my background in organic chemistry, I have also completed significant coursework and research in the areas of medicinal, analytical and physical chemistries, biochemistry and microbiology. I have also earned a final course grade of 'A' in such courses as Calculus, Physics, Biochemistry, Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and others. |
