Research with Dr. Feighery

Ph.D. 1991 - University at Buffalo

Inorganic chemistry

Research in the Feighery lab is primarily focused on the synthesis and characterization of inorganic and organometallic compounds that have potential applications as catalysts or compounds that exhibit novel material properties. While some experience in the general chemistry and organic chemistry lab courses is useful for students who want to work on these projects, students can start early in their careers here at IU South Bend.


Dr. Feighery is the most senior member of department and has served as both Department Chairperson and more recently as Assistant Dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
