Chuck Jakobsche (pronounced "Jacob-She") earned an undergraduate degree in chemistry at Williams College in 2004. He began graduate school in organic chemistry at Boston College, and then he complete his degree at Yale University with Scott Miller in 2009. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the field of chemical biology with David Spiegel at Yale, earning fellowships from the Yale Cancer Center and from the National Institute of Health. He began as an Assistant Professor at Clark University in 2012 and was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2018. He regularly teaches organic chemistry 1 & 2 and associated lab sections, as well as a variety of higher-level courses such as chemistry & biology of medicine, synthetic organic chemistry, chromatography & mass spectrometry, and scientific writing & communication. He co-founded and served as co-chair of the university's Health, Science & Society program for four years, and he chaired the university's main committee on undergraduate academics through the pandemic shutdown and reopening. As of 2023, Professor Jakobsche has approximately 25 research publications that span a wide variety of chemistry sub-disciplines. He has also created www.DiscoverOChem.com, which is a free open-access interactive learning platform for learning organic chemistry. Recently, he has been developing an interest in the field of data science.
