Megan Moyer

Dr. Megan Moyer is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Chemistry Department. Since graduating from Mines with her PhD, she has taught first year general chemistry and inorganic chemistry. Additionally, she has worked with undergraduate student researchers to explore porous materials such as corn-fiber derived carbons and metal organic frameworks for applications in water purification and drug delivery. Dr. Moyer’s graduate research involved synthesizing porous support materials like mesoporous silica, ordered mesoporous carbon, and zeolites for use with nanoparticle and single site catalysts. She investigated gas to liquid conversions and tandem catalytic reactions. After graduate school, her focus shifted to education. She aims to make chemistry accessible and enjoyable for all students both in the classroom and in the lab.
