Dr. Maria Danielle Garrett, assistant professor of chemistry education, recently published an article titled “Wavelength Analysis of LEDs using Handheld Spectroscopes” in The Chemical Educator, a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on laboratory experimentation and teaching methods.
The article stemmed from her work with 4th grade students through the American Chemical Society Science Coaches program. This work gave Garrett the unique opportunity to collaborate with her father, Jack B. Garrett, PE, a licensed professional engineer with more than 20 years of mechanical engineering experience, who currently serves as vice president of capital asset management for HCP Incorporated in Franklin, Tennessee.
