Courses Taught:
CHM 2210 (Organic Chemistry I) CHM 2211 (Organic Chemistry II) CHM 3230 (Organic Chemistry III: Structure) CHM 3740L (Experimental I: Structure Determination Laboratory) CHM 4220 (Organic Chemistry IV: Reactions and Mechanisms) Occasionally, a "special topics" course on Structure Elucidation by Spectroscopic Methods. |

Research Interests:
Current research is directed towards structure elucidation by instrumental means including nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and chiroptical methods (circular dichroism and optical rotatroy dispersion). Special attention is given to conformational analysis as determined by instrumentation and molecular mechanics calculations. |
