"I'm excited to work full time with such engaged students. I'm also thrilled to be part of such a diverse faculty who have such a wide range of expertise and bring so much energy to this job."
Emma’s research in the spectroscopic study of synthetic chemistry is unique. She studied organic chemistry (molecules containing carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen atoms) and inorganic chemistry (molecules containing the transition metals), providing her with a perspective of how these subdisciplines function together to move synthetic chemistry forward. She brings this skillset and passion for chemistry to the Quest classroom and lab.
