Faculty	Areas of interest
Valeria Balogh-Nair, Professor B.Sc., Univ. of Louvain, Ph.D.	Organic; Synthesis and mode of action of bioactive substances.
Ronald L. Birke, Professor B.S., University of Wisconsin-Madison; Ph.D., Cornell University	Our research activities involve the investigation of electrochemical systems of interest in biochemical redox processes , in energy conversion such as solar to electrical energy ( electrochemical solar cells ) , chemical to electrical energy ( fuel cells), and electrical to chemical energy ( electrosynthesis), and in molecular electronics such as molecules bound to Ag or Au metal clusters.
Neil McKelvie, Professor M.A., Cambridge Univ.; Ph.D., Columbia Univ.	Organic: Organophosphorus chemistry. Cyclic poly-ylides; quaternary ammonium-, phosphonium-, and pyridinium methyl substituted phosphorus compounds; polycyclic phospholes.
Simon A. Simms, Associate Professor and Chair B.S., The City College; Ph.D., Princeton Univ.	Molecular biology, enzymology and structure-function studies of methyltransferases.
Maria Tamargo, Professor and Acting Dean B.S., Univ. of Puerto Rico, Rio Pedras; Ph.D., Johns Hopkins Univ.	Molecular Beam Epitaxy of II - VI and III- V semiconductors; liquid phase epitaxy. Growth and properties of semiconductor thin films and multi layers.
Issa Salame Asst. Professor	N/A
David Gosser -Associate Professor -Director of the Peer-Led Team Learning Project (PLTL)	Our research is concerned to uncover new aspects of this exciting new area. We are utilizing several experimental and theoretical methodologies in our research, to examine the role of charge transfer in reactions of biological interest. 1. Simulation and analysis of reaction mechanisms in electroanalytical chemistry, mostly cyclic voltammetric and double potential step experiments. (BAS 100A) 2. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance. (Resonance Instruments X-band ESR Spectrometer). 3. Development of semi-quantitative computer relational database model approaches to understanding charge transfer
