COPPIN STATE UNIVERSITY
Department of Natural Sciences

Dr. Alfred N. Amah
Associate Professor
Organic Chemistry

I currently teach Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry and Chemistry for Allied Health Professionals at Coppin State Univeresity and at Towson University on a part-time basis. My course syllabi have information on other sites in chemistry.

My research interest is in the area of synthesis of novel organic compounds using Flash Vacuum Pyrolysis Techniques; isolation and purification of natural products and uses of spectroscopic methods to study organic reactions (NMR, MS, CMR).

A graduate of Cuttington University College, Liberia (B.Sc.), Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana (M.A.), and Iowa State University in Ames Iowa (Ph.D.), I have taught organic chemistry courses at several institutions (College of Science and Technology, University of Liberia, Iowa State University, Front Range Community College in Colorado, Colorado State University, Towson University, Community College of Baltimore) and now at Coppin State College.

My professional responsibilities include activities, such as Coppin State Chapter of the Beta Kappa Chi, an honorary scientific society, chairperson of the minority section of the American Chemical Society for the State of Maryland; member of the Third World Academy of Science (TWAS), International Foundation for Science (IFS), and Pan African Union of Science and Technology (PUST).

Some colleagues of mine have agreed to share their very resourceful and valuable Web sites with my students. They include Liina Ladon (TU), Dr. Shirish Shah (CND) and Dr. Sweeting (TU). These Web sites are valuable in the study of chemistry, especially organic chemistry.

E-mail me at aamah@.coppin.edu. I shall appreciate any suggestions and/or comments. The chemistry courses that I teach include the following:
