Dr. Jeanne Hossenlopp is currently serving as interim dean of the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences. She is an associate professor of chemistry and served as chair of the Department of Chemistry from 2004 to 2008.
A native of Buffalo, NY, Hossenlopp received her B.A. degree in chemistry from Colgate University in 1981, M.A. degree in education from Siena Heights College in 1982, and Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from Syracuse University in 1987. From 1987 to 1989 she was a postdoctoral research associate at Columbia University. She joined the faculty at Marquette University in August 1989. In 1989 she received a Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation New Faculty Award, a national award given to ten new faculty in chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical engineering departments annually.
Hossenlopp has taught physical chemistry courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as general (freshman) chemistry. She was awarded Marquette University’s John P. Raynor. S.J., Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence in 2003. Hossenlopp’s research interests are in the area of nanomaterials. Current work in her laboratory focuses on obtaining fundamental insight into the factors that control the structure and reactivity of layered metal hydroxides with nanodimensional inter-layer galleries, as well as the development and characterization of these materials for chemical sensor and fire retardancy applications. Her research program has received funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the US Department of Agriculture.
In addition to her teaching and research activities, Hossenlopp has served on numerous university committees, including as chair of the Ad Hoc Committee on Student Ratings of Teaching from 2003 to 2005. She is also currently a member of the advisory board for Alcorn State University’s National Science Foundation funded HBCU-UP grant for improving undergraduate research skills.
