Dr. Jocelyn M. Nadeau
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Bio
Since 2005, Jocelyn Nadeau has been at Marist teaching organic chemistry lecture and laboratory courses and conducting research in collaboration with undergraduates. She enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for organic chemistry with her students and mentoring them through the process of discovering and reaching their future career goals. Her research is focused on the synthesis and characterization of complex organic molecules with emissive or electrochemical properties for molecular electronics applications. She has coauthored several peer-reviewed publications with her students, and they have presented their research at numerous local and national conferences.
