Chantelle Anfuso

Dr. Chantelle Anfuso is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), where she has taught since 2012. Her research integrates physical chemistry, laser spectroscopy, and chemical education, with a focus on electro- and photocatalytic systems and water quality analysis. She pioneered the peer supplemental instruction (PSI) program for STEM courses at GGC, funded by NSF-IUSE and other grants, and advocates for active learning pedagogies and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in education.

• Education: B.S. in Chemistry (University of Georgia), Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (Emory University)

Her research with Dr. Patrice Bell employs spectroscopic methods to study systems ranging from dyes in solvents to environmental water quality. She currently leads an NSF ADVANCE Catalyst grant to evaluate and improve equitable practices for STEM faculty at GGC, emphasizing intersectional inclusivity.
