Brian W. Gregory

Brian W. Gregory is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Samford University's Howard College of Arts and Sciences. He holds a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Georgia, along with BS and MS degrees in Chemistry from Furman University.

• Teaching: Courses include Foundations of Chemistry, Quantitative Chemical Analysis, Advanced Chemistry Laboratory, Senior Seminar, and Research/Internship.
• Research: Focuses on optical spectroscopy (IR, Raman, XPS) and electrochemical methods to study surface/monolayer film structures.

His work explores multifunctional monolayer films on gold surfaces for enzyme immobilization, leveraging amide bonds between alkanethiols and oligo(ethylene glycol) chains to control molecular orientation and bioadhesion resistance. Gregory emphasizes undergraduate experiential learning using advanced instrumentation.
