Jonathan Miorelli

Dr. Jonathan Miorelli is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Colorado School of Mines. His primary role focuses on integrating computational chemistry into educational practices to enhance student engagement and spatial concept understanding. He holds a BS from Metropolitan State College of Denver and a PhD from Colorado School of Mines.

His research spans theoretical and computational chemistry, particularly exploring molecular electron density structures via QTAIM and CDFT frameworks. Recently, his work emphasizes chemical education, leveraging computational visualization tools to teach orbital concepts and chemical bonding. Notable publications (2014–2017) address topics like oxygen-functional group reactivity, zero-flux surface influences on reactivity, and nanocrystal synthesis mechanics.

Outside academia, Miorelli actively pursues artistic endeavors including guitar performance and visual art creation. No formal grants or lab affiliations are explicitly mentioned in the text.
