Amanda K. Nelson

Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Librarian, Science Library
My academic background includes an interdisciplinary focus on law, psychology, and chemistry. I developed new organic synthesis methods during my Ph.D. program at Virginia Tech, which culminated an international collaboration as a Fulbright Scholar. Thereafter, I came to Stanford as Manager of the Undergraduate Laboratory Program, where I packaged our chemistry experiments and shipped them worldwide during the pandemic. Embracing my new career as the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Librarian, I now turn my attention to curating information and teaching information literacy in science.
