ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE
Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (University of Oklahoma, 2022-present) – Academic Chair of a unit with ~30 tenure-track faculty and associated senior researchers, technical staff, office staff, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers. Responsible for the vision and growth of the research and instruction mission of a highly successful, productive unit with a large budget, significant federal expenditures, and a significant contribution to the undergraduate teaching mission of the university. Oversight of core facilities, including stock room, mass spectrometry, and NMR core facilities.
Director of the Institute of Biological Chemistry (Washington State University, 2016-2022) – Academic director of a unit with twelve tenure-track faculty and associated senior researchers, technical staff, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers. Responsible for the strategic vision for a highly successful research-intensive academic unit in plant biochemistry, having an overall state budget of over $4M and research expenditures of ~$5M per year. Works closely with the Dean and three Associate Deans of the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences to implement policies and budget modifications. Manage office, greenhouse, equipment maintenance/repair, and research staff, and work with faculty in generating graduate teaching curriculum.
Principal Investigator and Director, National Institutes of Health Protein Biotechnology Training Program (Washington State University, 2021-2022) – Oversee T32 training grant that involves 40+ faculty and ~50 graduate students. As Director of the program, I supervise a coordinator. Together, we are responsible for all program elements, including recruiting, cohort building, programming, and courses such as protein biotechnology, responsible conduct of research, experimental design, and ethics. The training grant at WSU is the longest-running T32 training grant in biotechnology. It boasts a traditional, solid track record of success in recruiting and retaining students from underrepresented groups and in professional placement.
Special Advisor to the Vice President for Research for Strategic Research Initiatives (Washington State University, 2019-2022) – In the role of Special Advisor to the Vice President for Research, I worked closely with the Office of Research Advancement and Partnerships on several specific projects. I brought together a small group of top researchers across all disciplines to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the Office of Research Offices and Programs and generated recommendations for strategies to improve the efficacy and impact, as well as the faculty’s awareness and appreciation of the programs within the office. I worked with the office in developing appropriate metrics to measure the success of research investments, including WSU Grand Challenge projects. Worked directly with the leadership of WSU Colleges to develop research strengths to promote WSU research excellence for recruiting new faculty and students, development, communications, and investment. I assisted in catalyzing and preparing center-level funding proposals. I worked with all of the Office of Research's individual offices to develop mission statements, marketing strategies, and goals to promote greater accessibility and impact for faculty.
Principal Investigator and Director, Biological Electron Transfer and Catalysis Energy Frontiers Research Center (Montana State University and Washington State University, 2014-2021). Led an effort to successfully compete for a center-level project from the Department of Energy, funded at the level of ~$12M, to examine the biological electron transfer phenomenon relevant to energy production. With budgetary discretion, the principal investigator was responsible for the project's overall vision. The center involved nine academic institutions (Washington State University, Montana State University, Duke University, University of Georgia, University of Arizona, University of Kentucky, Utah State University, and the University of Washington) and two Department of Energy laboratories (National Renewable Energy Laboratory & Pacific Northwest National Laboratory). The project resulted in more than 50 publications, including papers published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature Chemical Biology. A publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences was recognized by receiving the prestigious Cozzarelli Prize.
Chair, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Undergraduate Program Committee, (Montana State University, 2011-2016). Provided leadership and guidance for the Undergraduate Program Committee, working directly with faculty and laboratory coordinators for the delivery of a high volume of service courses in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. Established courses, including a course entitled “Chemistry and Society,” to meet the requirements of a newly developed core curriculum. I worked with instructors to evolve course structures and associated syllabi to adopt course learning objectives and contemporary pedagogy. The committee worked to ensure the curriculum continues to adhere to ACS Certified Chemistry Degree requirements and administer exit exams. Initiated approval process for new courses and worked with the department head on instructor professional development. Developed a strategy to foster stronger working relationships between tenure-track and career/instructional-track faculty.
Principal Investigator and Director, NASA Astrobiology Biogeocatalysis Research Center (Montana State University, 2007-2013). Led an effort to successfully compete for a center-level project from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration project funded at the level of $7M, focused on iron-sulfur cluster and enzyme-mediated catalysis as a model for understanding the transition between the abiotic and biotic worlds – Origin of Life. Team geochemists, physical chemists, biochemists, and philosophers with team members from Montana State University, Stony Brook University, and Temple University. With budgetary discretion, the principal investigator was responsible for the project's overall vision. The project involved an elaborate education and outreach program largely centered on research activities related to Yellowstone National Park's thermal features, which garnered several awards. The center funded a full-length PBS documentary on the Origin of Life, which is still being aired periodically. The project resulted in more than 60 publications, including papers published in Nature and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Director, Thermal Biology Institute (Montana State University, 2004-2013). Led a center funded through a NASA appropriation of ~$1M yearly on research associated with research activities focused on the Yellowstone National Park thermal features. The Director supervised a full-time administrative assistant and two outreach staff. The Director had budgetary discretion, and funds were primarily allocated to principal investigators as seed funding for external grants. A vital component of the center was the education and outreach program, which offered community programming for adults and children and made creative educational materials available in Yellowstone Park. In addition, the center offered Masters in Science in Science Education courses that provide secondary teachers with content and strategies to incorporate Yellowstone Science in the classroom. The center was recognized worldwide and hosted the 2011 International Thermophiles Conference in Big Sky, Montana.
Founding Chair, Molecular Biosciences Initiative (Montana State University, 2005-2007) Architected Montana State University’s interdisciplinary initiative that resulted in a permanently funded Molecular Biosciences Program offering fellowships to study in areas that represented a large cross-section of life sciences at Montana State University. The process involved networking with multiple departments across three colleges to garner support for the initiative and then negotiating with the Provost and Graduate School to carve out permanent funding. The program is still in existence today and has a strong record of recruiting, graduating, and placing strong students in the life sciences.
