A guest lecturer will explore nuances of separation science in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry’s inaugural Arthur H. Black Science Education and Research Lecture.
Dr. Jared Anderson, the Alice Hudson Professor of Chemistry at Iowa State University who was on faculty at UToledo from 2005 to 2015, will present the free, public lecture at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12, in Wolfe Hall Room 1205.
Dr. Jared Anderson is the Alice Hudson Professor of Chemistry at Iowa State University.
Anderson will speak on an aspect of separation science, a field of study within analytical chemistry that encompasses a slew of laboratory techniques to isolate components of a mixture. His lecture specifically will cover the nanoscale ordering of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for enhanced separation performance.
The new lecture series is in honor of the late Arthur H. Black, an analytical chemist who enjoyed a 60-year association with UToledo as a student, educator and administrator. Black continued to teach chemistry even as he moved up the administrative ranks of the University, retiring as associate dean of the then-named College of Arts and Sciences in 1983 and continuing to teach as a part-time instructor until 1996.
Dr. Curtis Black, his son and a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in the Department of Pharmacy Practice, will share brief remarks ahead of the lecture.
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is raising funds toward an endowed professorship named in honor of Arthur H. Black. To donate or for more information on the Arthur H. Black Professorship, go to the UToledo Foundation website.
