معرفی
Dr. Anderson L. Marsh is the Vernon and Doris Bishop Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Chemistry Engineering Track at Lebanon Valley College. His research focuses on surface chemistry and nanoscience, particularly in catalysis, alternative energy, and environmental remediation. He prepares nanomaterials with controlled surface structures to study their reactivity in pollutant removal and catalytic processes, aiming to design environmentally beneficial materials.
Dr. Marsh has received the 2013 Thomas Rhys Vickroy Distinguished Teaching Award and the E. Emmet Reid Award in Chemistry Teaching at Small Colleges. His work emphasizes undergraduate research collaboration, with many co-authored publications involving student researchers. He teaches courses such as Physical Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, and nanotechnology seminars, integrating hands-on laboratory experiences with theoretical concepts.
His research group employs microscopy, spectroscopy, and reaction studies to correlate surface properties with catalytic activity. Recent studies include investigating ZnS nanocrystal toxicity, platinum nanocatalyst performance, and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. These efforts highlight his commitment to advancing sustainable chemical processes and mentoring the next generation of scientists.
