Video Dr. Gordon Parker Reflects on his Career in Analytical Chemistry During an Exciting Time in History
“I graduated in ’58 [during a] time when the United States was desperate to find science teachers. So I had several opportunities for employment,” Gordon Parker, the now retired, veteran chemist shared with Cambridge Who’s Who. With a bachelor of science in chemistry concentrating in physics and mathematics from the University of Michigan, Gordon started teaching high school science in the areas of chemistry, physics, natural sciences and geology, to name a few. Dr. Parker returned to school to pursue a graduate degree. Wayne State University, an institution renowned for its chemistry program, Gordon conducted research alongside internationally recognized scientists. He also gained a reputation of his own which, paired with a Ph.D., later helped him land a teaching position at the University of Toledo. With added funds allotted to science, research departments at the University of Toledo thrived. Dr. Parker would enjoy a prosperous research and teaching tenure there spanning over three decades. During this time, he published numerous articles and reports, including his book, “Analytical Chemistry of Molybdenum,” in 1983. Through his collaborative efforts, Dr. Parker gained both national and international acclaim for his work with molybdenum, a silvery metallic chemical element having the sixth-highest melting point of any element and often used in steel alloys. Dr. Parker considered his time at the University of Toledo to be the highlight of his career. Reflecting on a …
