Claudia Fafard

Claudia Fafard (neé Moura) is a native of Peabody, Mass. She earned her B.S. degree from Merrimack College in 2004 working with Prof. Anthony Fernandez. Claudia joined the group in June of 2004, getting an early start to her first year of graduate school. Although her major line of research has been focused on the unusual structural trends and reactivity of certain PNP complexes of palladium, she has contributed productively to other projects as well. In addition, she has been instrumental in creating the new Inorganic Chemistry teaching laboratory (CHEM39b) at Brandeis.
