Degrees

  • B.S. The City College, CUNY, 1968
  • M.A., Princeton University, 1971
  • Ph.D., Princeton University, 1974

Research synopsis

My interests included Mossbauer Spectroscopy, Chemical Bonding, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Surface Science. I also was and am interested in Chemical Education and completely redesigned the CHE 136 course so that it is inquiry based and uses collaborative learning methods.
