She earned her B.A. in chemistry from Kalamazoo College and her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Michigan State University. Hupp’s lab at Holy Cross uses gas chromatography (GC) and chemometric methods to characterize various plant and animal feedstocks that are used to generate biodiesel fuels. Her lab is active in the summer months and throughout the academic year. She recently published an article regarding efforts using ultrafast GC to analyze biodiesel fuels in the journal “Fuel.” Hupp teaches courses at all levels at the College and is teaching an introductory chemistry course called Atoms and Molecules and the associated discovery-based labs this fall.
