Working as a speech-language pathologist, Fuery studies early phonological and lexical development and poverty’s impact on speech and language development.
Siewert’s published work focuses on the work of the late-19th century artist James McNeill Whistler, but his research interests extend to the artistic exchange between America and Britain. He works with students in post-Renaissance and contemporary art history.
With teaching credentials in traditional, digital, and alternative photography as well as studio work in performative video and interactive installation, Murphy Milligan explores the relationship between photography and storytelling. She has been featured in over 100 exhibitions both in the United States and internationally.
A former Fulbright Scholar, Cosgriff is an expert of the Italian Renaissance with published work on painter Raphael and his critical engagement with the classical tradition. She also teaches courses on Northern Renaissance, Baroque, and Islamic art.
With a teaching and research focus on medieval and African art history, Morrow’s classes include opportunities for students to learn directly from objects in The College of Wooster Art Museum.
With research on the photochemistry of organic UV-absorbers and dyes, Sobeck primarily teaches introductory and physical chemistry courses.
The recipient of many grants to aid the study of topics within organic chemistry and biochemistry, Snider researches how aerobic nicotinic acid (Vitamin B3) is broken down, works to determine the genes and mechanisms of degradation of antidepressants by bacteria in the environment, and studies the structure and functional characterization of novel phosphagen kinases.
Working with students and leveraging techniques at the interface of chemistry and biology to better understand the enzymes that help to build bacterial cell walls, Martin works to solve the problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, which has become a global health crisis that may one day lead to a “post antibiotic era” where existing antibiotics may not be capable of halting even minor infections.
A chemist with a research interests in photooxidation of multi-functional organic compounds relevant to atmospheric aerosols, he works with students in environmental and physical chemistry.
Faust works with students to research a combination of environmental, analytical, and physical chemistry to characterize the composition and reactivity of atmospheric systems.
Known for his patented organosilica materials for water treatment, environmental remediation, and personal care, Edmiston researches advanced materials for water purification and the development of chemical sensors based on molecularly imprinted materials.
A professor of inorganic and organic chemistry, Bonvallet studies Supramolecular (many-molecular) chemistry and photochemistry (light chemistry), light-emitting organic compounds, and the formulation, response, and applications of swellable organically modified silica (SOMS).
Interested in conservational biology, Williams studies evolutionary adaptation and physiological acclimation at the population level in Brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) fish inhabiting polluted and clean regions and uses field expertise and molecular techniques to identify population level differences between clean and polluted site fish.
Studying DNA damage and its link to cancer, neurodegenerative disease, and cardiovascular disease, West’s research utilizes baker’s yeast and mammalian cells to define more clearly how organisms sense and respond to protein-damaging molecules.
Focusing on H. capsulatum, a species of fungus, Strand studies the identification of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways required for H. capsulatum to sense and respond to changes in environmental conditions and the characterization of the distribution of H. capsulatum in the soil of the Ohio-Mississippi River Valley.
Interested in biological systems, Regan works to uncover the principles of coordination between cellular phenotypes at multiple scales of organization and build predictive models of this coordination in health and disease with the ultimate goal of studying aging, cancer progression, and stem cell differentiation and reprogramming.
As a biology research technician, Minkeu assists with independent studies in biology and intermediate French courses. He also specializes in mosquito-borne viruses and virology.
Working with students, Ison explores interests in ecology, conservation biology, and ecological genetics by studying how anthropogenic (i.e., human-induced) alterations to natural areas are impacting native plant populations.
