- Philosophy of Chemistry/ The Periodic table
In recent years there has been a worldwide upsurge of interest in philosophical aspects of chemistry. In my own work I examine the extent to which chemical concepts can be explained through fundamental theories in physics, especially quantum mechanics. I also focus on the implications of this work on chemical education and the manner in which chemistry is presented in textbooks and general chemistry courses. More specifically, I am interested in issues surrounding the teaching of atomic and electronic structure. I also work on historical and philosophical aspects of the Periodic System of the Elements and several other areas in history and philosophy of chemistry.
