Making the Connections 3: A How-To Guide for Organic Chemistry Lab Techniques, Third

Dr. Anne Buyle Padias earned a Ph.D. in Belgium, University of Gent, in organic polymer chemistry in 1975. Her research, in a partnership with H.K. Hall, Jr. at the University of Arizona, generally dealt with the synthesis of highly strained monomers to obtain novel polymers, and the elucidation of polymerization mechanisms. She is currently the Director of Academic Services in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arizona, in addition to being the Instructional Laboratory Manager for the Organic Chemistry Labs and a Lecturer in Organic Chemistry. She also teaches a Chemical Safety class and is involved in undergraduate education issues, such as a vertical integration of the curriculum.
