About Me
|
I am currently an undergraduate chemistry student and researcher at Illinois Institute of Technology. Though I am most interested in organic chemistry, I also have a secondary interest in analytical chemistry. My research, however, focuses on organic chemistry, and most of my expertise is in this area. I am particularly interested in reaction mechanisms and named reactions, and most of my contributions so far have been in regards to one of these two topics.
I have found that Wikipedia is often a great reference for chemistry information; even obscure reactions and unusual compounds are usually given at least a cursory treatment. In addition, the sources and/or links provided by previous editors are useful in researching a topic further. I am grateful that Wikipedia is such an excellent reference, and am simply trying to do my part.
New Articles
[edit]These are articles I've created from scratch.
Major Contributions
[edit]These are articles that I have rewritten, Wikified, or to which I added a significant amount of new content.
Minor Contributions
[edit]These are articles to which I have contributed a paragraph or two, or perhaps a figure/graphic.
Contributions on Wikimedia Commons
[edit]Since chemical structures and reaction mechanisms - and indeed, images in general - are more or less universally understood, I post all the images I create to the Commons. For a complete list of files I've contributed, look here.
My To-Do List
[edit]These are articles that I am currently working on, or would like to work on in the near future. To see what I'm currently working on, check my sandbox. I like to test things there before posting changes to the article in question.
