Faculty Profile

Dr. Baldwin has published articles on undergraduate laboratory experiments and microwave oven chemistry. He has given presentations at American Chemical Society meetings about undergraduate chemistry curriculum and green chemistry. Because chemistry and biochemistry majors are required to perform extensive experiments and write a senior thesis, Dr. Baldwin has led students in performing experiments and scientific writing resulting in more than a dozen senior thesis projects. His academic interests are in undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory curriculum development and green chemistry.

I am a professor here at SAU for two basic reasons.  First, because SAU provides the opportunity to explain chemistry and the natural world to students so that their knowledge and skills improve.  Second, I really enjoy the ability to share why I believe in the Lord Jesus and what that means to me in the context of science and everyday life.  Here at SAU, I need not be ashamed of the gospel, in fact, my bosses want me to share about Him.  This is a very different environment from industry or government chemistry businesses.  These two abilities make being at SAU a happy place to serve the Lord.
