John Gunduz is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry/Physical Sciences at Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, Pace University, where he has been teaching since 2018, initially as an Adjunct Professor before being appointed Lecturer in 2020. He is based at the Westchester campus (Pleasantville), located in Costello House 102.
Education:
- PhD in Organic Chemistry, Marmara University - Institute for Graduate Studies in Pure and Applied Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey (2009)
- MS in Organic Chemistry, Marmara University - Institute for Graduate Studies in Pure and Applied Sciences, Istanbul, Turkey (2001)
- BA, Balikesir University, Balikesir, Turkey (1998)
His research is centered on synthetic organic chemistry, particularly the synthesis and characterization of heterocyclic compounds including crown ethers, Schiff bases, BODIPY, phthalocyanines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). He investigates their cation-binding behaviors and fluorescence properties, which have applications in sensing and materials science. His work bridges fundamental organic synthesis with functional molecular design.
While no recent publications are listed in the provided text, his research interests suggest active engagement in developing novel fluorescent probes and supramolecular systems with tunable electronic properties.
There are no scientific awards mentioned in the available information.
Dr. Gunduz advises students through his teaching and mentorship in laboratory courses, though no specific graduate advisees are listed. He has taught a range of undergraduate courses including General Chemistry II (CHE 112), Principles of Chemistry for the Health Professions (CHE 113), Organic Chemistry I and II (CHE 223, CHE 224) in lecture, lab, and recitation formats, and Instrumental Analysis (CHE 331). There is no mention of external grants or funded research projects.
