Instruction

Henary Maher

Short Biography

Dr. Henary received a Ph.D. in Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry from Northeastern University, Boston, MA.

Research Interests

We are interested in the development of new laboratory curriculum and addressing the changing needs of physical science and life science majors in the chemistry field. Our primary focus in that area lies in assessing the curriculum of the first year chemistry lecture and translating some of the curricular material into experiments appropriate for the first year chemistry laboratory course.

Also, we are interested in the area of synthetic inorganic / organometallic chemistry, specifically, in the synthesis and characterization of mixed metal clusters.
