His research interests involve synthetic inorganic chemistry, with particular focus on the role of nickel in redox enzymes, molecular-based magnetism, and molecular self-assembly. Dr. Prushan has authored over 80 papers and presentations in these areas, many with his undergraduate research students. In his time at La Salle, he has mentored over 30 researchers. Dr. Prushan is passionate about exposing students to an undergraduate research experience, believing that through such exposure, real learning takes place—and it is during this experience that a student becomes a scientist.
