Below is brief information about Prof. Boisvert and his research group. To get more information on these topics and others, use the links on the top pane.
Prof. Boisvert usually teaches organic chemistry lecture and lab in the Fall (Chem 250) and Spring (Chem 251) semesters. From time to time, he also teaches Advanced Organic Synthesis (Chem 356) and General Chemistry (Chem 110).
The Boisvert lab at the University of Puget Sound conducts research in organic and organometallic chemistry directed at developing and implementing more sustainable and efficient chemical processes. The main themes of our research are green chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. Most of the research is conducted during the summer, where 1-4 undergraduate students conduct research full time in the lab. During the Fall and Spring semesters, our research group usually involves 1-3 students conducting their Senior Thesis (Chem 490) and independent research (Chem 390).
