Paul M. Treichel

Paul M. Treichel, Jr. (born 1936) dedicated his time to research and the advancement in academic studies.

He received his B.S. degree form the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1958 and then a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1962. After a year of postdoctoral study in London, he assumed a faculty position at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

At the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he currently is Helfaer Professor of Chemistry. He served this department from 1986 to 1995.

He has retired from teaching as of spring 2007. He previously taught courses in general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and scientific ethics. His research in the field of organometallic and metal cluster chemistry and in mass spectrometry, added by some 75 graduate and undergraduate students, led to the publication of more than 170 papers in scientific journals.

Importance in current science

Treichel is currently helping in the research on the development of synthetic methodology for small metal clusters and the creation of new and interesting compounds. The previous experience in mass spectrospy has led to several results with the food science department and helped with several published papers.

Outside of his research, Treichel taught several classes at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. The subjects he has lectured on include general chemistry and inorganic chemistry.

gollark: The combination of uniformly sized partitions and using the value on the "left" apparently causes bee.

gollark: It seems to be if you use the WRONG version, is the thing.
gollark: Apparently, if you integrate the "characteristic function of the rational numbers" (1 if rational, 0 otherwise) from 0 to 1, you will attain 1, because x is always rational (because b - a is 1, and all the partitions are the same size), even though it should be 0.
gollark: For another thing, as I found out while reading a complaint by mathematicians about the use of Riemann integrals over gauge integrals, if you always take the point to "sample" as the left/right/center of each partition *and* the thing is evenly divided up into partitions, it's actually wrong in some circumstances.
