Interests

Professor Lindsey teaches general chemistry at TCNJ. Prior to arriving at TCNJ, she received her M.A. in Chemistry and M.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering from The University of Arizona. She studied surfactant chemistry before switching her research focus to applying analytical techniques to non-destructively analyze tobacco residue on Native American cultural heritage objects in the collection of the Arizona State Museum.

In addition to her interest in the intersection of art and chemistry, Professor Lindsey is passionate about improving science education via active learning and inclusive teaching practices. Professor Lindsey is also an avid baker and loves thinking about the way chemistry underpins each facet of baking – from the choice of leavening agent to the relative strengths of different glass baking dishes.
