CAREER
My industrial and academic experience has been in experimental colloid science and surface analysis. I feel I'm qualified to teach undergraduate and graduate level courses in the areas of general, colloid, physical and analytical chemistry and as well as technical writing. Two personal goals are: 1) to author a general chemistry textbook incorporating significantly more organic and biochemistry material without diminishing the more conventional topics such as nomenclature and descriptive, structural, physical and inorganic chemistry, and 2) to author a physical chemistry textbook which combines mass, momentum and energy balances (traditionally chemical engineering topics) with physical chemistry in order to provide a more intuitive and general presentation for chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering students.

In addition to teaching and academic advising, I would hope to direct an active research program in the areas of kinetic and equilibrium adsorption of molecules and polymers at interfaces. These areas of research would be continuations of work reported in my recent publications. Technological applications for this research would include: paper manufacture, adsorption of environmental pollutants, migration of soil nutrients, adsorption on membrane surfaces and polymer molecules, electrostatic properties of organic and inorganic interfaces, adhesion, paints and coatings, detergency, foam and particulate dispersion stability, viscosity modification, etc. Funding for this research would be sought from institutions with interests in the above mentioned technologies.
