The Department is pleased to welcome Jeanne McHale, who arrived in August 2004. Prof. McHale received her Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1979 from the University of Utah, where she worked with Prof. Jack Simons. She was a member of the chemistry faculty at the University of Idaho from 1980 until 2004, when she joined the chemistry faculty at Washington State University. She is a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the author of Molecular Spectroscopy (Prentice-Hall, 1999).
The McHale lab specializes in the use of resonance Raman spectroscopy and other optical techniques for the study of molecules and nanomaterials with interesting optical and electronic properties.
The Department is pleased to welcome Paul Benny, who arrived in April 2004. Prof. Benny received a BS in Chemistry and Mathematics from Missouri Baptist College. His PhD in Inorganic Chemistry was obtained from the University of Missouri. His research interests lie in radio-pharmaceutical chemistry. Specifically, the development and characterization of radioactive metal complexes for the diagnosis and treatment of biological diseases. To learn more about Paul Benny's research, click here.
Profs. Ursula Mazur and K.W. Hipps spent a week in Taiwan presenting invited lectures at the Conference for Advanced Nanomaterials and the International Union of Materials Research Society annual meeting.
