General Chemistry, Cengage International Edition

Darrell Ebbing has taught general chemistry for more than thirty years and is now retired from Wayne State University. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Indiana University.

Steven D. Gammon is the Provost at the University of Maine Fort Kent. In this role he continues to be engaged in working to provide exceptional educational experiences for students in chemistry, the sciences and other disciplines.

Christopher Koenigsmann is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Fordham University. He received his Ph.D. from Stony Brook University and was a postdoctoral associate at Yale University. His research group focuses on designing, synthesizing and characterizing nanostructured materials tailored for use in renewable energy, air purification and sensor technology. He teaches the general chemistry lecture and lab courses and is interested in using active and group learning strategies to improve student engagement in the course. In addition, he developed a new online learning platform for general chemistry laboratories that combines tutorials, digital simulations and algorithmically generated content to create digital pre- and post-lab assignments that accompany hands-on laboratory experiments. Koenigsmann grew up in suburban New York and developed an interest in chemistry in high school thanks to the passion and dedication of his high school chemistry teacher.

Nancy Wu is an associate professor of Teaching in the Department of Chemistry at Wayne State University. She received her Ph.D. in chemical biology from the University of Michigan. Her doctoral research involved elucidating the kinetic mechanism and inhibition of protein-only ribonuclease P. At Wayne State University, she currently teaches introductory general, organic and biological chemistry courses. She has also developed and taught new laboratory curriculum in introductory chemistry courses for non-science majors and serves as a mentor for graduate teaching assistants and a research advisor for undergraduate students. Wu was born and raised in San Francisco, where her curiosity in chemistry first began in high school.
