Timothy Eckert

• Professor of Chemistry

Timothy Eckert regularly teaches courses in Organic and General Chemistry, and Forensic Science. He earned his B.A. at Yale University, and Ph.D. at the State University of New York at Syracuse. As a postdoctoral fellow, he did bioorganic chemical research at the University of California-Santa Barbara. During a sabbatical leave, he pursued NMR research at the University of Arizona.

Professor Eckert's research at Carthage is focused on the synthesis and NMR explorations of chiral NMR shift reagents. He wrote the organic chemistry text used at Carthage. He has published several papers in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Journal of Chemical Education. His love for math puzzles has led him to serve as an editor for American Mathematics Competitions for high school students. He also enjoys bicycling, tennis and basketball.

He joined the Carthage faculty in 1989.
