Dr. Diana Mason

Associate Professor of Chemistry



My research interests lie in the field of chemical education specifically highlighting high school preparation for freshmen chemistry and the study of general chemistry. I am interested in the improvement of the teaching and learning strategies for general chemistry and in science teacher preparation.

I am also the coordinator for the Chemistry Education program (for details see below).
