Practice Exams

November 27, 2018

Practice exams offer low or no stakes opportunities for students to assess their knowledge, in preparation for a larger-stakes assessment, like an exam. For faculty members, it offers a way to gauge student progress prior to exams and determine student strengths and weaknesses. For students, it is an excellent assessment tool to reduce anxiety and…Read More

Dr. Adrienne Williams

Assistant Professor of Chemistry

Dr. Williams has worked as a materials engineer at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio for 6 years and in Industry for almost two years. She has nearly 20 research publications, co-author of a book on DNA photonics, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and biomaterials. She has extensive experience and background in materials characterization techniques. She strongly believes that there is so much potential in GFETs (using graphene) as the semiconductor material of choice due to its' robust and mechanical properties. Her research encompasses materials science and engineering, physics and chemistry. Her research goals are to deposit various biomaterials (thin films) onto graphene (which is on various flexible and non-flexible) substrates in the development of biosensors for optics and photonics applications.
