I am teaching Chemistry 621/621L (Instrumental analysis and laboratory) in spring 2008.

In fall 2008, I am teaching Chemistry 729, a graduate course on statistical analysis analysis of laboratory data, experimental design, and chemometrics (mutlivariate analysis methods such as PCA, LDA, cluster analysis, as well as multivariate calibration methods such as PCR and PLS).

I last taught a graduate course on chromatography, Chemistry 723, Separation Methods in Analytical Chemistry, during fall semester 2007.

I am also teaching Chemistry 401, with Dr. Jim Hendrix, a capstone course involving careers in chemistry designed that is designed to prepare chemistry majors for the real world. This course will be taught next in spring 2009.

I have also lectured in the "Forensic Analytical Chemistry" course (Chemistry 622) which will be taught next in fall 2008. Dr. Bill Brewer is the organizer and primary instructor for these courses. I have been involved in the freshman-level "Introduction to Forensic Chemistry" (Chemistry 107) course, which will be team-taught in spring 2008.

I taught Chemistry 321/321L (Quantative analysis) in spring and fall 2004.

Undergraduate courses that I have taught include:

Chemistry 112. Freshman Chemistry, second semester.

Chemistry 103/103L. South Carolina College Freshman Honors Chemistry and laboratory, first semester.

Chemistry 104/104L. South Carolina College Freshman Honors Chemistry and laboratory, second semester.

Chemistry 321/321L. Quantitative Analysis and laboratory.

Chemistry 591L/592L. Physical/Analytical/Inorganic laboratory.

Chemical Warfare: History and Chemistry, Lecture material prepared for Physics 599: "Counterterrorism: A Multidisciplinary Analysis," Spring 2002.

Chemistry 621/621L. Instrumental Analysis and laboratory.

Chemistry 622, Forensic analytical chemistry (taught by Drs. Brewer and Lambert).

University 401C, a careers/ industrial chemistry capstone experience for chemistry majors, which is being taught now as Chem 401.

Graduate courses that I have taught include:

Chemistry 723. Separation Methods in Analytical Chemistry (taught in fall 2007, presumably will be taught again in Fall 2008).

Chemistry 729. Chemometrics (statistics, optimization, experimental design, and mutivariate statistics in Analytical Chemistry, not scheduled at this time).
