Professional Interests |
I have recently become interested in chemical applications related
to microbiology and have joined with my colleague, Dr. Chun Kwun Wun, in
research projects involving E. coli and Salmonella. My other area of
interest is in developing better teaching presentations for large lecture
classes using computer and multimedia technology.
I am an active
member of the American Chemical Society serving as a Councilor and as a
Chair of the Programming Committee of the Division of Chemical
Education.
