Gregg Tucci is a Senior Lecturer on Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, serving as Director of Undergraduate Studies in Chemistry. He earned a B.S. in Chemistry from Villanova University and a PhD in Chemistry from Harvard University, focusing on metals in biological systems during both stages.

• Education:
  • B.S. in Chemistry, Villanova University
  • PhD in Chemistry, Harvard University

Dr. Tucci specializes in chemistry education, with research interests spanning technology's impact on science pedagogy, learning styles, and high school preparation for university science classrooms. His earlier work involved developing inorganic mimics for nickel enzymes that fix carbon monoxide, rooted in environmental and bioinorganic chemistry.

His awards include the Marquand Award for Advising, teaching accolades from Harvard College and Extension School, and the Derek Bok Center Golden Spatula Award (2006). He actively mentors undergraduate chemistry majors and teaches graduate-level teaching practicums, general chemistry to pre-medical students, and a non-credit tutorial on 'Heavy Metals and Autism.'
