Elaine M Marzluff
Breid-McFarland Professor of Science
Professor Marzluff teaches Physical Chemistry (CHM 363, 364), General聽Chemistry (CHM 129), Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry (CHM 210) as well as聽the Policy Studies seminar (PST320) and the Advanced Policy Research聽course (PST 420). Professor Marzluff's research focuses on the structure聽and dynamics of peptides and proteins in both solution and gas phase.聽With support from NSF-TUES program, she is working to develop modular聽curricular materials for physical chemistry that introduce students to聽kinetics, quantum mechanics and spectroscopy using a context-rich聽pedagogy.
