Matthew Mio

Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, teaches organic chemistry. His research focuses on new transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Projects include exploring both the mechanism and synthetic capabilities of these reactions, with particular emphasis on the generation of phenylacetylenes for use in nanoelectronics and supramolecular chemistry. Mio is also interested in introductory and organic chemistry curriculum development, as well as the philosophical unification of physical, chemical and biological science in education.

Mio holds a B.S. from the University of Detroit Mercy and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He performed post-doctoral research and teaching at Macalester College (St. Paul, MN) where he was awarded a Mellon Fellowship. He joined the University in 2002.
