David Bartley, Ph.D.
Associate Professor
I received my Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Michigan. I teach the Organic Chemistry curriculum along with other courses in the department as needed. I began teaching at Adrian College in 2011.
Brittney Cole, M.S.
Instructor
I have a M.S. degree in Chemistry from Ohio University and a M.A. degree in education from Austin Peay State University. I am currently teaching General Chemistry I and II, and I enjoy helping students learn how chemistry applies to everyday life. Throughout my college career my interest in Chemistry has grown and I hope to pass this interest to others. I started at Adrian College in 2016 and moved into the instructor position in 2021.
Jane Newman, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Department Chair
I got my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Lake Superior State University in Sault Sainte Marie, MI. I then went on to get a Ph.D.. from Indiana University in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. My main research interests focus on a cell-cell communication mechanism called quorum sensing, and how this communication is regulated by transcriptional control. I teach the Biochemistry courses and I started teaching at Adrian College in Fall 2021.
Sasha North, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
I received both my Bachelor of Science and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Michigan State University. I then taught general chemistry at Grand Valley State University for three years before becoming a postdoctoral researcher at University of North Texas and Michigan State University. My research interests have been concerned with computational/quantum chemistry methods. Along with general chemistry, I also teach physical chemistry courses and started at Adrian College in Spring 2023.
