Bender IV, John E.

About this team member

John, the holder of a prestigious NSF graduate fellowship, joined the group in December of 1993. His research focus was the organometallic chemistry of germanium.

John graduated with his PhD in the summer of 1998 and is now an associate professor of chemistry at Grand Valley State University.
