Online Approaches to Chemical Education

Pia Sörensen is Senior Preceptor in Chemical Engineering and Applied Materials at the Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. Her research interests range from science and engineering education- with an emphasis on online education and creative ways of teaching science and engineering in a liberal arts setting- to the science of food and the chemical and microbial processes of food fermentations. Prior to joining the faculty ofthe Harvard Paulson School in 2011, Sörensen received a B.S. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Biology from Harvard University.Dorian Canelas has been teaching general and organic chemistry for over a dozen years. She has received numerous research, education, and leadership awards, including most recently the 2017 David and Janet Vaughan Brooks Award for excellence in undergraduate teaching. Her academic interests include the development of soft or transferable skills through science coursework, the study of best practices for science-career retention for students from historically marginalized groups, and theevolving status of online learning in higher education. Prior to joining the faculty of Duke University's Department of Chemistry in 2009, she taught chemistry courses at North Carolina State University and held research-intensive positions for several years in both academia and industry. Canelas receiveda B.S. In Chemistry from Northeastern University and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
