About
Thomas Egg is a chemical educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of laboratory automation, data science, and chemistry pedagogy. His primary research focuses on developing innovative, accessible methods for teaching foundational chemical concepts through modern computational and automated techniques. Egg’s most notable contribution is his 2023 paper, "A Modern Twist on an Old Measurement," which has garnered 3 citations. In this work, he pioneered a combined computational and experimental laboratory activity designed for first-year undergraduate general chemistry students, demonstrating how to determine the solubility product of lead iodide using laboratory automation and data science. This approach represents a significant pedagogical advancement, making automation skills—typically reserved for upper-level coursework—accessible to novice chemists. Egg’s work is particularly impactful for its emphasis on integrating data science into early chemistry education, equipping students with valuable 21st-century skills. His research underscores a commitment to modernizing the chemistry curriculum and has been recognized as a model for incorporating automation into introductory lab settings.
