His teaching load extends from freshman-level general chemistry courses through senior/graduate-level biochemistry courses. Conrad’s student-focused approach encourages students to take learning into their own hands through activities such as active learning or peer instruction, all while presenting material with a high level of enthusiasm. Teaching activities continue in the research lab with an environment that provides professional development while exposing students to biochemical research that focuses on the mechanistic details of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. He has taught at UNO since 2012.
