Tulio Chavez-Gil PhD

My role at Coppin State University is to serve as a faculty mentor for undergraduate and graduate students interested in acquiring expertise in chemistry, polymers and material sciences during their time at Coppin State University. To qualify for this role, I completed my Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry in 1997 and completed a postdoctoral training in the field of Physical Chemistry of Pharmaceuticals in the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Kumamoto University, Kumamoto Japan (1997-1999). After Japan, I moved to USA as an Associate Researcher (2000-2002) under an NIH-MBRS Score Program at University of Puerto Rico (Mayagüez Campus), Department of Chemistry. My research findings (Japan and Puerto Rico) were published in highly competitive peer review journals such as the ACS journal of Biochemistry, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, Inorganica Chimica Acta, J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Comm, and Tetrahedron.

I have taught at various undergraduate and graduate schools for over twenty-nine years as evidenced in my curriculum vitae. All these training equipped me with the educational skills to be mentor of large number of undergraduate (USDE-Ronald McNair program) as well as for graduate students and postdoc fellows.
