MAHER M. HENARY, Inorganic Chemistry/ Chemical Education
Education
Ph.D. Inorganic and Organometallic
Chemistry, Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Research Interest
We
are interested in the development 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.
