Academic Genealogy
of
Thomas G. Chasteen
Dr. Thomas G. Chasteen completed his Ph.D at the University of Colorado,
Boulder in 1990 under the direction of John Birks. The academic genealogy
of the chemists from whench I sprang are detailed at the right. My dissertation
was completed under the additional supervision of Pat
Zimmerman at the National Center
for Atmospheric Research in Boulder and Ray Fall at CU. After serving
as a (sabbatical replacement) Visiting Assistant Professor at Saint
Lawrence University in 1990-1991, I joined Sam Houston State University's
Department of Chemistry in 1991 and became an Associate Professor of Chemistry
in 1996 and a full professor in 2002. I teach undergraduate courses in
the Chemistry, Honors, and Environmental Science departments and graduate
courses in analytical chemistry and forensic science.
Courses taught in Chemistry:
- Freshman chemistry
- Online Freshman Chemistry Class: CHM 138(.10)
- "Traditional" Freshman Chemistry Lecture
- Nonmajors, Honors Chemistry
- Air Quality (Atmospheric Chemistry)
- Instrumental Analysis
as well as
- Graduate Analytical Spectroscopy
The Air Quality course (heavy on the atmospheric chemistry) is co-listed
in the Environmental Sciences Department. I also teach courses in SHSU's
Honors program-Honors Chemistry for nonmajors.
I also periodically teach a few lectures in the SHSU Texas Crossroads
series (Eng488) under the aegis of Dr. Gene Young. This is an effort to
provide a survey of atmospheric chemistry to, well, surprised English
majors forecasting on what Texas's future will be (polluted).
Tom Chasteen's research has been supported by Research Corporation,
Hoffmann-La Roche Research Foundation, the University of Zürich,
Switzerland, Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico
(Chile), the Texas Research Institute in Environmental Studies, and SHSU's
Faculty Research Enhancement Fund. Publications
have been included in national and international scientific journals.
I have also published a book entitled Qualitative
and Instrumental Analysis of Environmentally Significant Elements,
book chapters for the American
Chemical Society, the Royal
Society of Chemisty, and co-authored a laboratory
manual for non-major chemistry students for John Wiley and Sons which
is now in its fourth edition.
International projects with extended visits abroad have included invited
lecturing and collaboration at the University of Zürich, Switzerland
and a collaborative project at the University of Santiago, Chile in
collaboration with Dr. Claudio Vásquez at University of Santiago.
