Dr. Owen McDougal is an Associate Professor with the Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry at Boise State University, where he has been a member of the faculty since
2006. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Dr.
McDougal’s research interests include nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy,
biomedical research of neurotoxins, and properties of biomass fuel briquettes. Dr.
McDougal’s teaching interests focus on the instruction of Organic Spectroscopy. He has
worked toward a systematic approach to introduce NMR, IR, and GC-MS instrumentation and
to provide students with the opportunity to become very proficient in the analysis of
data acquired from this instrumentation. In addition to publishing and presenting, Dr.
McDougal has worked on a variety of grant projects. In 2009 he served as a collaborator
on a NIH Grant from the INBRE Program of the National Center for Research Resources.
