Paul J. Fischer is an inorganic chemist who arrived at Macalester College in 2001. He teaches general chemistry and advanced inorganic chemistry. His current research, funded by grants from the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund and Research corporation, encompasses the area of organometallic synthetic chemistry. Fischer is widely published in top journals such as Organometallics. His professional goal is to establish a vigorous synthetic inorganic and organometallic research program at Macalester. Fischer teaches courses in General Chemistry, Accelerated General Chemistry and Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. EDUCATION: B.S., Ph.D., University of Minnesota Fischer has been teaching at Macalester since 2001.
