Bio
Dr. Brook received a B.Sc. in chemistry from the University of Lancaster in England,
and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Colorado, Boulder. After postdoctoral
positions at the University of Texas, Austin and the University of Colorado, Boulder,
Dr Brook held a faculty position at the University of Detroit Mercy from 1997-2005.
He moved to the Bay area in 2005 and joined the SJSU faculty on a full time basis
in 2007. Dr. Brook mainly teaches organic chemistry but has taught classes in inorganic
chemistry, physical chemistry and solid state chemistry. His research interests include
the synthesis and properties of stable organic free radicals, and supramolecular coordination
chemistry. He is particularly interested in applying this chemistry to the development
of advanced materials.
