520 JAMES P. RIEHL received a BS degree in chemistry from
Villanova University in 1970 and a PhD in physical
chemistry from Purdue University in 1975. He is currently
Dean of the Swenson College of Science and Engineering and
Professor of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota
Duluth, a position he has held since 2000. Dr. Riehl is a
frequent invited speaker nationally and internationally on
the topic of molecular chirality, and is the author of
numerous research publications in the applications of
optical spectroscopy to the study of chiral structures. He
was the recipient of the St. Louis Award of the American
Chemical Society for his outstanding contributions to the
chemistry profession, and currently holds a University of
Minnesota McKnight Presidential Leadership Chair
