It's never too early to learn the fundamentals of chemistry. Dr. Nikolay Gerasimchuk, professor of chemistry, wants to make sure the basics are down before high school — in a fun way, with demonstrations and awe. Gerasimchuk spent two days with Pleasant View students. He said enjoys serving the community and doing public outreach. "I took it with pride and good … [Read more...] about Middle school students have visitor: chemistry
Sometimes inspiration just hits you. Dr. Nikolay Gerasimchuk went to Portugal for a seminar and a conference he presented at. He came back with new collaborators from the University of Lisboa, who performed catalytic studies of new compounds earlier obtained in his research lab in Springfield. Upon return from Portugal, Gerasimchuk spent three months in a monastery in … [Read more...] about Another day, another journal
Tessa Middleton, a graduate student, began aiding in the chemistry research lab at Missouri State University last May. Research specifics Middleton is continuing a project started by a former chemistry graduate student. The goal of her research is to make six different metal-based compounds that could be emissive in near-infrared region. Human tissues become transparent in … [Read more...] about Graduate student joins university research team
