معرفی
Dr. Bronwen Wheatley is an Associate Professor (Teaching) in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, and also serves as an Instructor in the Natural Sciences Program. She holds a B.S. (2002) and Ph.D. (2009) in Chemistry from the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on chemistry education, academic integrity, and organic synthesis methodologies. She has contributed to studies on teaching strategies, contract cheating prevention, and reaction mechanisms involving palladium-catalyzed reactions. Her work bridges traditional organic chemistry research with innovative pedagogical approaches.
Education:
- Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, University of Calgary (2002)
- Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry, University of Calgary (2009)
Research Interests: Dr. Wheatley explores the intersection of chemistry education and practical research. She investigates teaching methodologies to enhance student engagement, particularly in scientific writing and problem-solving. Her work on academic integrity addresses systemic challenges like contract cheating. In organic chemistry, her earlier studies focused on asymmetric Heck reactions, palladium migration pathways, and catalyst design using BINAP derivatives.
Articles Overview: Recent publications highlight her shift toward educational topics, including academic integrity and pandemic-era teaching adaptations. Earlier work (2004–2009) delves into organic synthesis mechanisms, spectroscopic analysis, and novel ligand development. This dual focus reflects her roles as both researcher and educator.
Awards: No awards explicitly listed in available texts.
Advising/Grants: No student advisees or grant details provided in texts. Her roles emphasize teaching and curriculum development.
Labs/Teams: No specific lab or team affiliations mentioned beyond her departmental and programmatic roles.
