Helen Boylan Funari

I have been at Westminster College since 2001 and am a professor in the Harms Center for the Environment.  I also serve as the College's Faculty Fellow for Community Engagement.

I regularly teach environmental science and chemistry courses, including:

• ES/CHE 231 Environmental Analysis
• ES 601 Environmental Science Capstone
• CHE 601 Chemistry Capstone I

My students and I are heavily involved in service learning and experiential learning.  We collaborate on an regular basis with the Slippery Rock Watershed Coalition on water quality testing of passive treatment sites for abandoned mine drainage.  

My research interests include environmental and forensic science applications of analytical chemistry and chemometrics.  I am an organizing committee member of the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy (Pittcon).
