All faculty (tenured, tenure-track, visiting and adjunct) are invited to complete a biography. Because we wanted to create a form that has opportunities for everyone to convey a sense of what's special and important to you, and important, in your view, for prospective students and prospective colleagues to know about you, we have several optional questions. Please complete as many optional fields as you wish.

My research interests:
My research is on African literature, particularly literature from Zimbabwe. I am interested in the political and cultural conditions which affect African writers and which they address in their work.
Professor of Biology, R. Sheldon and Virginia Johnson Professor of Science
My research interests:
I study glial-neuronal interactions in the brain. Most recently, I am examining the mechanisms that underlie brain injury following stroke using a mouse model. Using cerium oxide nanoparticles we can reduce the tissue damage in the brain following stroke approximately 50%. We are currently working with Clarkson University and Dartmouth Medical School to engineer new nanoparticles that more potent and biologically compatible.
