"Dr. Edward Remsen graduated from Manhattan College with a B.S. in chemistry. Over the summers while an undergraduate, he did research in the analysis of ligand exchange reactions using stopped-flow kinetics with Dr. Raymond Barile. He earned his M.S. from the Polytechnic University of New York where his thesis research focused on the vibrational spectroscopy of organometallic and inorganic compounds under the guidance of Dr. John Casper. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University working in laboratory of Professor Thomas Spiro in the area of resonance Raman spectroscopic studies of iron-sulfur electron transport proteins and mixed valence inorganic complexes. After receiving his doctorate, Dr. Remsen began a 26 year career in the chemical industry starting as a research chemist with the Monsanto Plastics and Resins Company in Springfield, MA. He then transferred to the world headquarters of Monsanto Company in St. Louis, MO where he worked as an analytical chemist in Monsanto Corporate Research. His area of research while with Monsanto Corporate Research was the physical and analytical chemistry of synthetic and biological macromolecules. His work was recognized with a Research Achievement Award and an appointment to Monsanto Science Fellow. He left Monsanto to take a position as a research scientist in the Department, of Chemistry of Washington University in St. Louis. His research was in the physical and analytical chemistry of polymer nanoparticles in the laboratory of Professor Karen Wooley. Dr. Remsen returned to industry as a senior scientist and manager in the R&D and Quality groups of Cabot Microelectronics Corporation (Aurora, IL), a major supplier of process chemicals to the computer chip industry. While employed at Cabot Microelectronics he taught part-time as Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemical, Physical and Biological Sciences of the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in Chicago, IL. In 2009 he joined the Mund-Lagowski Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of Bradley University as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2014. He is the co-author of 94 peer reviewed publications, a co-inventor of 2 patents, and has presented his research findings at 36 national and international conferences."
