Jamie Lawton

Jamie Lawton, PhD serves as an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry within the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. His office is located in Science & Engineering 304A, and he can be reached at 508-999-8246 or via email at jlawton2@umassd.edu.

Professor Lawton specializes in chemistry education, teaching foundational courses in modern chemistry principles and physical chemistry measurements. His teaching portfolio includes CHM 151: Principles of Modern Chemistry I, which covers stoichiometry, energy changes in chemical reactions, atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, and chemical periodicity for science and engineering majors. He also teaches CHM 319: Physical Chemistry Measurements II, which provides students with hands-on experience in obtaining precise physical measurements of chemical interest while testing established theoretical principles introduced in earlier physical chemistry courses.

As a teaching-focused faculty member, Professor Lawton's work centers on developing students' understanding of core chemical concepts and laboratory techniques essential for science and engineering disciplines. His courses emphasize both theoretical knowledge and practical measurement skills necessary for advanced study in chemistry and related fields.
