Rate My Professor David Huseland

David Huseland serves as Associate Adjunct Faculty in the Chemistry Department at the University of Indianapolis, a position held since 2014. In this role, he supports the department's instructional needs within the College of Arts and Sciences. His academic qualifications include a B.A. earned in 1984 from Northwestern University, an M.S. obtained in 1992 from Indiana University, and an M.A. conferred in 1994 from Columbia International University. These degrees reflect a trajectory of advanced study following his undergraduate education.

Huseland's scholarly contributions are documented in peer-reviewed publications from the late 1980s, stemming from his research during earlier academic engagements. Notable among these is the paper titled 'Simplified, “one-pot” procedure for the synthesis of [(Ph3P)CuH]6, a stable copper hydride for conjugate reductions of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds,' co-authored with Donna M. Brestensky, Colleen McGettigan, and Jeffrey M. Stryker, published in Tetrahedron Letters, volume 29, issue 31, pages 3749-3752, in 1988. Another key publication is 'Synthesis of 1,3-Disubstituted Diazolidines,' co-authored with Joseph B. Lambert and Gen-tai Wang, appearing in Synthesis, 1986, pages 1037-1039. Additionally, 'Acid-catalyzed ring-chain tautomerism in 1,3-diazolidines,' co-authored with Joseph B. Lambert, Gen-Tai Wang, and Larry C. Takiff, was published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, volume 52, issue 21, pages 4781-4785, in 1987. These publications highlight his work on synthetic procedures involving copper hydride complexes and heterocyclic compounds.
