Michael G. Coleman serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the State University of New York College at Brockport. His office is located in Smith Hall 228, with office hours held Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. He teaches Organic Chemistry I and II along with their laboratory components (CHM 305/306).
His educational background includes a B.S. in Chemistry (1997) and Ph.D. in Medicinal/Organic Chemistry (2006), both from SUNY Buffalo. A Rochester City School District graduate, Coleman maintains strong local ties while advancing sustainable chemistry research.
Research focuses on environmentally responsible synthesis of small organic compounds through mechanochemical strategies, organometallic catalysis, and classical methodologies aligned with Green Chemistry principles. His work targets pharmaceutical, materials science, and green manufacturing applications, emphasizing recyclable catalysts and solvent-free conditions. Recent publications demonstrate expertise in ionic liquid lubricants and catalytic cyclopropenation techniques.
Analysis of his 13 most recent publications (2025-2007) reveals consistent contributions to sustainable organic synthesis, with increasing emphasis on tribology applications since 2022. Key themes include ionic liquid development for lubrication, mechanochemical cyclopropenation, and catalytic C-H activation – all prioritizing resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Dr. Coleman actively supports first-generation and low-income STEM students through teaching and outreach initiatives. His commitment to accessible science education complements research in green chemistry methodologies, though specific grant details remain unlisted in the current profile.
