Introduction
Hello! I am an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. Students in my graduate-level courses have been collaboratively editing Wikipedia since 2008. This page serves as a central repository for the previous student's contributions to Wikipedia as well as the current student's sandboxes. Please check out the links below to see our work!
