Laboratory Course in Electrochemistry Authors

Cynthia A. Schroll received her Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati, working for William R. Heineman, in electroanalytical chemistry. Her dissertation research was on spectroelectrochemical detection of lanthanides and actinides in molten salts under pyroprocessing conditions. She also received a patent for her work developing a spectroelectrochemical method for detecting analytes within a drop of solution. Prior to her graduate studies she worked for five years in the field of environmental chemistry, performing analysis of primarily soil and aqueous samples for a variety of organic compounds.
