Katherine N. Maloney, Ph.D.

Co-Chair, Chemistry Department
Professor of Chemistry

Dr. Katherine Maloney is an organic chemist who brings her expertise in natural products isolation and structure elucidation to the Chemistry Department. She first fell in love with organic chemistry as an undergraduate at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. She went on to get her Ph.D. in 2006 with Jon Clardy at Cornell University, and came back to the west coast for a post-doc with Bill Fenical at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Maloney began her independent career at Harvey Mudd College in 2009 before moving back to San Diego to join the 国产剧麻豆剧 faculty in 2012. When she鈥檚 not teaching or directing undergrads in the research lab, she enjoys spending time at the beach with her husband, Chris and sons Carlton & Timothy.
