Office Hour – Lou Charkoudian '03

Assistant Professor of Chemistry Lou Charkoudian '03 has lots of books in her office, but two have particular significance: the chemistry textbooks she used when she was a Haverford student in the organic chemistry classes of professors Karin Åkerfeldt and Fran Blase, who are now Charkoudian’s colleagues.

Read Office Hour in the Spring/Summer 2017 issue of Haverford Magazine.

Charkoudian, who has a Ph.D. from Duke University, describes her research and teaching interests as lying “at the intersection of organic chemistry and biology.” Photo: Patrick Montero.
