Teaching Chemistry with Art
Science and art are the legacy of any culture, and there is renewed interest in integrating the arts and sciences in higher education. At the University of Notre Dame, faculty have designed a core curriculum course that explores the shared virtues, values, methods, and practices of art and chemistry. The course offers a unique learning experience as we draw from primary literature at the art-science interface, analyze works of art at the Raclin-Murphy Museum, and conduct chemistry experiments in the chemistry labs. By examining parallels in art and chemistry, we hope to develop critical analysis and innovative thinking and provide an understanding of the interconnectedness of these disciplines. Join Bahram Moasser Ph.D., for this exploration of chemistry and art at this talk.

Meet the Faculty: Bahram Moasser
Bahram Moasser Ph.D., is a teaching professor in the department of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. He joined the department in 2016 as an associate teaching professor after holding positions at GE Global Research Center and Georgetown University. His promotion to teaching professor reflected his stellar reputation as an exemplary educator and mentor to undergraduate students. He was also awarded the 2023 Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, C.S.C., Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. Bahram received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the University of Minnesota ā Twin Cities and his A.B. degree from Cornell University.
