Miwa
Title: Associate
Professor
Office: 376B Science Center

Bio: My
primary teaching interest is organic chemistry. I have taught
both semesters of our organic sequence (211 and 313) several
times and taught a seminar (Chem 319) on topics in bioorganic
chemistry in the spring of 1996 and on combinatorial chemistry
in the spring of 2002. I have also taught Introductory Chemistry.
I am interested in alternatives to lecture in organic chemistry
classes, and in incorporating current research into introductory
organic chemistry. I am also interested in computer applications
to chemical education, and play around occasionally with Web
tutorials for organic chemistry.
Most of my
free time is devoted to my husband and my daughters, Elise and
Cori. I also enjoy a variety of athletic challenges. In October
of 2001,
I achieved one of my lifelong goals by completing the Marine
Corps Marathon.

David
Haines
Title: Associate
Professor
Office: Science Center 266B
Phone: (781) 283-3037
E-mail: dhaines@wellesley.edu
Bio: At
Wellesley College, I have taught predominantly Organic Chemistry,
but have also regularly taught a course in Medicinal Chemistry.
I have been intensely involved in undergraduate research, having
worked with over 100 students in my labs. My research centers
on the synthesis of nucleoside analogs, designed based on predictions
about the conformations required for biological activity. I have
taken over 40 of these students to American Chemical Society
Meeting to present their research.
I also enjoy
collecting Quaker books and pamphlets and spending time with
my wife Nancy, who owns and runs Vintage Books, a used and antiquarian
bookstore in Hopkinton, Massachusetts.

Nick Doe
Title: Senior Instructor in Chemistry Laboratory
Office: 375 Science Center
Phone: (781) 283-3046
E-mail: ndoe@wellesley.edu
Bio: I have enjoyed teaching here at Wellesley since 1992. I have taught organic chemistry labs, biochemistry labs, and the first semester of our 2-semester introductory chemistry labs.
I am constantly looking for new and relevant labs that will keep the incredibly bright students here at Wellesley up to date with the latest techniques and concepts in chemistry!
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two AMAZING boys! We love to eat ice cream and run around a lot! :)

Amanda McCarthy
Title: Senior Instructor in Chemistry Laboratory
Office: 371 Science Center Phone: (781) 283-3336
E-mail: amccarthy1@wellesley.edu
Bio: I
have been teaching labs here since 1995. The teaching I have
done here at Wellesley has centered around organic chemistry
laboratory. I have also taught our accelerated one semester Introductory
Chemistry lab and the 2nd semester lab for our 2-semester Introductory
Chemistry course. In the near future, I hope to be involved in
the development of our environmental chemistry curriculum, for
that is my area of expertise.
In my spare
time, I love spending time in Vermont (skiing in the winter,
hiking in the summer) with my husband and son.
