Chemistry Professor Awarded Equipment Grant

Dr. Helen Boylan, Westminster College assistant professor of chemistry, was recently awarded the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP) College Equipment Grant at the annual SSP Award Ceremony held at Duquesne University.

"The proposal, 'Temperature Controlled Spectroscopy," will allow the Westminster Chemistry Department to purchase two thermostattable cuvette blocks and an associated recirculating water bath," Boylan said.  "This equipment will enable us to do temperature controlled spectroscopy for lab coursework and undergraduate research."

Boylan, who has been with Westminster College since 2001, earned her undergraduate degree from Westminster College and her Ph.D. from Duquesne University.
