Research Interests:  Chemical Education and Inorganic Materials Chemistry

My primary research interests are in the area of chemical education.  The development and implementation of interdisciplinary, technology-mediated classroom and laboratory activities at the undergraduate and K-12 levels is the primary focus of this research. Research in this area will provide students pursuing science education degrees practical experience in developing technology-based learning tools for chemistry.

A secondary area of interest is in the area of electrodeposited metal oxides, especially higher oxides of silver.  These silver oxides are interesting because they contain silver in an unusually high oxidation state, Ag(III), that is not accessible by thermal processes.  Silver in this high oxidation state is unstable and useful as an oxidizing agent.  Electrosynthesis of binary metal oxide systems (oxides with more than one metal) is also of interest.
