Dr. David Keller, a chemistry graduate from IU South Bend decades ago, gave a talk today on Overcoming obstacles in formulation analysis through analytical chemistry-vehicle issues from the perspective of an industrial chemist. Keller is an analytical chemist with expertise in chromatography and electroanalytical chemistry who works as a director at Charles River Laboratories, the Michigan branch of a world-wide pharmaceutical company that started in Virginia in the 1950s. Keller is pictured next to our old atomic absorption spectrometer which was an instrument he used in his upper-level chemistry courses. It was replaced in 2013 with our microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometer which has similar capabilities. Keller's talk was planned for the senior seminar course (of just 12 students), so it was amazing to have an extra 44 students attend.
