François Amar is Professor of Chemistry and Dean of the Honors College at the University of Maine, USA. He is that rare breed of cat with a passion for science and the liberal arts. His strong interest in interdisciplinary education set him on the path to becoming Dean of a college not unlike Tembusu, featuring discussion-based classes and a supportive environment for students’ individual development. Prof amar is currently fostering undergraduate research clusters and community-engages research at the Honors College. He is also started collaborating with Tembusu through faculty- and student-exchanges. Besides his work as Dean and his research in theoretical chemistry, Prof Amar has been working to advance science education with a recent study exploring the role of gesture in students’ thinking and communicating about chemistry.
