Jeremy Ramsey

Jeremy Ramsey is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Lycoming College, where he contributes to the Department of Chemistry with expertise in general and analytical chemistry. His academic journey began with a B.S. from Clarion University of Pennsylvania, followed by a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from The Ohio State University, where he studied electrochemical systems using spectroscopic methods.

His research experience includes advanced training at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in biological analysis and microfabrication, followed by applied work at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, developing detection methods for explosives and warfare agents. This interdisciplinary background bridges fundamental chemistry with national security applications.

His research, as reflected in his publications, centers on reaction mechanisms and synthetic methodologies in organic and organometallic chemistry, particularly involving samarium diiodide activation. While only one publication is explicitly mentioned, it indicates a strong engagement with hands-on, student-involved research.

Dr. Ramsey has co-authored research with students, highlighting his commitment to undergraduate mentorship and experiential learning in chemistry. Though no formal awards are listed, his trajectory from Pennsylvania to leading national laboratories and back to a teaching-focused liberal arts college underscores a dedication to both research and education.

His work environment at Lycoming College is described as welcoming and supportive, suggesting a long-term commitment to academic life and student development.
