Summary
Nathan Seifert is an assistant professor and spectroscopist with 12 years of experience combining hands-on microwave and Fourier transform spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, and computational tools for spectroscopic data analysis. At the University of New Haven he teaches and coordinates large lab programs, runs the departmental seminar series, and leads an ACS-certified undergraduate chemistry program while mentoring dozens of students each semester. His research spans instrument development, high-resolution gas-phase spectroscopy, and machine learning–assisted spectral interpretation from postdoctoral work at Argonne and University of Alberta to visiting scholarship roles. A recipient of the university’s 2025 Excellence in Teaching award, he also brings uncommon practical skills in maintaining community scientific resources (Splatalogue) and even volunteers as an e-sports coach applying analytics to team performance.
