Biography

Higher Education
Michelle
Kovarik
Hartford, Connecticut
I am a bioanalytical chemist with special interests in microfluidics and chemistry education. I am an assistant professor in the chemistry department at Trinity College in Hartford, CT.
My research focuses on the application of miniaturized analysis systems to electrophoretic separations and enzyme assays. Students in my lab learn microfabrication, fluorescence microscopy, and electrophoresis. For some projects, we work with the social ameoba, Dictyostelium discoideum, as a model organism.
I like to extend my research and teaching interests beyond the classroom and participate regularly in outreach events geared toward science education. Most recently, I worked with the 6th grade science students at Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy on a community learning initiative with students from my Chem 312 (Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis) class.
