Teaching and Related Service
Dr. McGovern teaches general chemistry. He is also a member of the American Chemical Society. He has also advised high school students in his synthesis lab who have been given an opportunity to perform university level research.
Research and Creative Activity
Dr. McGovern’s research interests include organometallic synthesis, which involves spending significant time at the NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrometer, and in a glovebox, since most materials of interest for his projects are air sensitive.
Dr. McGovern has published in Organometallics and Inorganic Chemistry and given presentations at the American Chemical Society’s national and regional conferences.
