Location: Science Auditorium
“Chemometrics: Using Statistics Towards Chemical Discovery” is the topic to be presented by Jessica Kraker ’99 during the 2009 Joseph J. Latterell Memorial Visiting Alumnus Lecture on Thursday, April 2. Kraker will speak at 7:30 p.m. in the Science Auditorium (room 2950) at the University of Minnesota, Morris.
A math major with minors in chemistry and statistics while at Morris, Kraker holds a master’s and doctorate in statistics from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Her research as an assistant professor in mathematics at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, focuses on chemometrics, “the science of relating measurements made on a chemical system of process to the state of the system via application of mathematical or statistical methods.”
The privately funded Joseph J. Latterell Memorial Visiting Alumnus Program provides grants to Division of Science and Mathematics disciplines to bring alumni to Morris to serve as resources to students and faculty.
The lecture is open to the public at no charge.
