Senior🎓
Top SchoolLee Mcpherson is an adjunct chemistry professor and software developer with 12 years of experience creating tools that make chemistry instruction more automatable and web-friendly. He builds practical educational software—most notably the Significant Figures macro and a Lewis structure drawing app for the WeBWorK platform—and authored the siunitx MathJax plugin to render units correctly in browsers. Combining a PhD in inorganic chemistry from UCLA with hands-on coding, he bridges deep subject-matter expertise and pragmatic engineering for assessment and visualization. Recently relocated to Cambridge, Ontario, he is seeking roles in education, programming, or chemistry where his knack for turning pedagogical needs into robust open-source tools can add immediate value.
