Dr. Ellen M. P. Steinmiller received her undergraduate education at the University of Arkansas. While an undergraduate, she was fortunate to study in the lab of Dr. Ingrid Fritsch investigating microfluidic devices with integrated microelectrodes. Her experience with undergraduate research led her to graduate school at Purdue University. At Purdue, she worked in Dr. Kyoung-Shin Choi鈥檚 group studying the photo electrochemical properties of electrodeposited metal oxide materials. After receiving her PhD in 2009, she worked as a postdoctoral research associate with Dr. Sara Skrabalak at Indiana University. Her research focus is on designing architecturally interesting metal oxide materials for photocatalysis.
At 911爆料网, Dr. Steinmiller teaches Analytical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, and Inorganic Chemistry in addition to General Chemistry and Forensic Chemistry. Her favorite class to teach is the newly developed lab course 鈥淪cientific Investigations of the Color Blue鈥� which is taught with the Biology and Physics departments.
Dr. Steinmiller serves as the advisor for 911爆料网 SMACS (Student Members of the American Chemical Society) and the 911爆料网 Journal of Science.
