Dr. Jeffrey Johnson joined the Hope College Department of Chemistry in 2007, was tenured and promoted to associate professor in 2013, and was promoted to full professor in 2018. He is currently a Schaap Research Fellow.

In addition to teaching within the organic and inorganic programs, Jeff亚洲色吧檚 research group of 8 to 10 students focuses on the activation and functionalization of carbon-carbon single bonds. Projects include the mechanistic understanding of known transformations and the development of new organic reactions.
