Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions

Visiting professor Dan M. Neumark, the Chancellor’s Professor of Chemistry at UC Berkely’s College of Chemistry, presented two lectures as a part of the Jean Dreyfus Lectureship for Undergraduate Institutions that TN Tech received last year. There was also an accompanying mini symposium for chemistry students to present current research. We were all thrilled to have met him and to discuss research with another physical chemist!
