Dr. David Soulsby obtained his undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Lancaster, England. He then attended University of Colorado Boulder and obtained a Ph.D. in organic chemistry. He began his academic career at the University of Redlands in 2001 where he is currently a professor of chemistry.Dr. Laura J. Anna earned her B.S. in chemistry from Indiana University of Pennsylvania where she had her first introduction to NMR spectroscopy on a 60 MHz instrument. She obtained her Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Michigan investigating applications of chiral vinyl sulfoxides in the asymmetric synthesis of natural products with Dr. Joseph P. Marino. She began her academic career at Millersville University, Millersville, PA, where she was a professor of chemistry for 14years working with 200 MHz and 400 MHz high field NMR instruments. She transitioned to Montgomery College, Rockville, MD, in 2011, where she is now professor of chemistry and department chair.Dr. Anton S. Wallner earned his undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. After graduating, he attended the University of Michigan (M.S. analytical chemistry), and obtained a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Case Western Reserve University. He began his academic career in 1992 at Missouri Western State University. He moved to Barry University in 2000 as chair and professor of chemistry in the Department of Physical Sciences. In 2008, he became Associate Deanof Undergraduate Programs at Barry University. He most recently served a two and a half year term as Interim Chair of Mathematics and Computer Science (2014-2016).
