Courses taught: organic chemistry, analytical chemistry and general chemistry.

Liz Atkinson teaches courses in general, organic, and analytical chemistry. Her primary areas of interest include both analytical and organic chemistry. Her research investigates novel molecular materials synthesized via sol-gel chemistry as novel sensors or catalysts incorporated various noble metals and target molecules. New materials are characterized using Raman, fluorescence, UV-visible and atomic force spectroscopy. Dr. Atkinson works with students each summer to collaborate on various chemistry projects creating new materials.
