TEACHING
Ch 102. Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry. Structure and bonding of inorganic species with special emphasis on spectroscopy, ligand substitution processes, oxidation-reduction reactions, organometallic, biological inorganic chemistry, and solid-state chemistry.
Instructors: Hadt, See
Ch 112. Inorganic Chemistry. Introduction to group theory, ligand field theory, and bonding in coordination complexes and organotransition metal compounds. Systematics of bonding, reactivity, and spectroscopy of commonly encountered classes of transition metal compounds.
Instructors: Agapie, Hadt
Ch 153 b-c. Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Ch 153 b: Applications of physical methods to the characterization of inorganic and bioinorganic species, with an emphasis on the practical application of Moessbauer, EPR, and pulse EPR spectroscopies. Ch 153 c: Theoretical and spectroscopic approaches to understanding the electronic structure of transition metal ions. Topics in the 153bc alternate sequence may include saturation magnetization and zero-field splitting in magnetic circular dichroism and molecular magnetism, hyperfine interactions in electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, Moessbauer and magnetic Moessbauer spectroscopy, vibronic interactions in electronic absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy, and bonding analyses using x-ray absorption and/or emission spectroscopies.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Rising Tide program (image credit: Lance Hayashida)
Our research group is committed to creating a safe and inclusive work environment and to sharing our knowledge and resources with the community.
Here are a few programs that we developed or are involved in:
WAVE program
The WAVE Fellowship is a 10-week undergraduate research program focused on recruiting underrepresented minority students into STEM graduate programs.
We are committed to supporting at least one WAVE student each summer. Our mentoring has assisted at least three students in their acceptance to graduate schools, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Caltech.
Graduate Student Mentorship Initiative
(GSMI) Cientifico Latino Program
Members of our group act as mentors for Latinx and BIPOC (Black and Indigenous People of Color) students, meeting with them virtually to assist them as they prepare their graduate school applications.
Rising Tide
Rising Tide is an entry-level research training program focused on increasing accessibility to Caltech’s undergraduate and graduate programs. It is aimed at students from backgrounds that have been historically excluded from science (first-generation college students, educationally or financially disadvantaged students, underserved students, women, geographically underrepresented students, and students with disabilities).
Women in Chemistry
An organization that fosters the careers of women in chemistry and related sciences.
We supported local middle- and high-school students, teaching them principles of chemiluminescence through hands-on demonstrations and serving as judges on their end-of-year science presentations.
Diversity in Chemistry Initiative (DICI)
A student-led Caltech initiative to amplify the voices, actions, and successes of under-represented minorities in the chemistry division.
We aided in the design and implementation of a DEI coordinator model to help foster healthy, diversity-oriented work environments throughout the division.
We also organized outreach efforts with the Pasadena City College (PCC) hosting workshops, lab tours, and science demos.
Future Ignited & Caltech Shines
We have been participating in these virtual programs to recruit underrepresented minorities in science from across the nation and assist them in their application process to Caltech.
RISE program
We have tutored local public school students through the Caltech Y’s Rise program, a low-cost afterschool math and science-focused tutoring program for students between grades 8 and 12.
