Instructor Bio - Dr. Richard Musgrave I was born in Sydney, Australia and grew up in Brisbane, Australia.

I completed my B. Sc. and Ph. D. in Chemistry at the University of Queensland also in Brisbane, Australia (http://www.uq.edu.au/about/university-profile).

In 1994, I came to the United States to do one and a half years of post-doctoral research at the University of Florida. I then worked at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg for two years before coming to SPC. I have been at SPC since 1997.

My research interests are mainly in the area of heterocyclic chemistry, especially 1,2,4-triazines.

Here are some of my publications: R.P. Musgrave, N.W. Jacobsen, G. Bourne, C.H.L. Kennard, G. Smith, T.C.W. Mak "Cycloaddition Reactions of some 1,2,4-Triazinium Betaines with Dimethylacetylene Dicarboxylate" Aust.J.Chem., 1995, 41, 1175.
