Dr. Glenn V. Lo is a Professor of Chemistry and Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana. He has a B.S. in Chemistry (cum laude) from the University of the Philippines (1982), and a Ph.D. (Physical Chem­istry) from Kansas State University (1989). He did postdoctoral work at the Universite’ Joseph Fourier in France. His graduate work involved laser-induced fluorescence studies and spectral simulations. More recent research projects involved semiclassical dynamics simulations.  

Dr. Lo’s main interest is in improving science education. He has published in the Journal of Chemical Education and the Chemical Educator. In 1999, he co-developed an online homework system used by thousands of high school and college chemistry students worldwide. An improved version of the system is currently accessible at http://i-assign.com.  Dr. Lo’s recent projects include a professional development program for high school physical science teachers (sponsored by the Louisiana Systemic Initiatives Program) and the development of video assessment library for Chemistry (http://chemqa.blogspot.com). He is the director for the Region I tournament of the Louisiana science olympiad (http:// www.nicholls.edu/scienceolympiad), which serves New Orleans and surrounding parishes (counties).

 Dr. Michael A. Janusa received his B.S. from Louisiana Tech University in 1985 and a Ph.D. from Louisiana State University in 1993. He taught chemistry at Nicholls State University for ten years Austin State University in 2003. Dr. Janusa teaches General Chemistry, Inorganic, Analytical, and Environmental Chemistry. Known for his clear, well organized lectures, Dr. Janusa has received several awards for excellence in teaching. His research interest focuses on the environmental science area. He holds a U.S. patent in complexing heavy metals with bagasse (sugar cane by-product).
