Manisha Nigam

My research is mainly pedagogical, is focused on promoting green chemistry and sustainability education in the real world. My overall vision is to raise awareness of green and sustainable principles and practices within the campus community. I am engaging students in a broad, interdisciplinary manner that will enable them to apply their education to their everyday lives on and off campus and also in their personal and professional worlds. I am also striving to leverage student efforts to promote the long-term sustainability of the campus community. My specific goals include: developing undergraduate organic chemistry experiments that focus on green chemistry principles, designing advanced-level courses that promote green and sustainability principles; and identifying and chartering green and sustainable projects on campus.
