Her main responsibilities are making sure the undergraduate labs are prepped for, maintaining instrumentation and teaching various courses for the Chemistry & Biochemistry department. Dr. Neuberger is a proud alumnus of Loyola University New Orleans (dual B.S. in Chemistry and Sociology ‘07) and is delighted to be back at her alma mater working hard to support the Chemistry & Biochemistry department and its mission to provide quality education to all of its students. Dr. Neuberger has attended the National Science Foundation workshops for Chemistry and Art and Advanced Chemistry and Art. Dr. Neuberger is an inorganic photochemist who always needs more metal in her life. She is the current faculty advisor for the ACS Student Club and when she’s not in the stockroom or teaching, she loves to play soccer, read horror and science fiction books and is a two-time New Orleans Skee-ball League champion.
