Current Schedule

Professor at Cal Poly Pomona, teaching Organic Chemistry lecture and laboratory classes.
In addition to authoring an introductory organic synthesis textbook (2nd edition). I have developed online lab animations & tutorials, online prelab quizzes, organic chemistry "clicker" questions, and online organic chemistry lectures for Educator.com. As you can probably tell, I am a strong proponent for using technology to support student success, and I have created a repository of active learning resources for Organic Chemistry, called LOCAL. I served as a peer reviewer for MERLOT, and I enjoy giving chemistry career presentations (here is a list of my presentations & publications). Please visit my YouTube channel ChemistryConnected, see my OrganicERS spotlight, and I welcome contributions to my collection of Video Creation & Teaching resources and COVID-19 Remote-Teaching resources.

This is a personal website, and not an official website of Cal Poly Pomona or the CPP Chemistry & Biochemistry Department
