Seiichiro Tanizaki, originally from Japan, received B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Ehime University in 1989. He came to the U.S. in 1991 and completed a B.A. in Mathematics/Chemistry from the University of Maine at Farmington in 1993. He then received his Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry from Brandeis University in 2003 under Peter C. Jordan's supervision. He was a postdoctoral research associate from 2003 to 2006 in Michael Feig's group at Michigan State University, where he developed a mathematical method to simulate large proteins in a biological membrane environment. While at MSU, he taught Calculus as a visiting instructor. He moved to the University of Texas at Arlington in 2006, and has been teaching introductory chemistry to a broad range of students (non-science majors, nursing-intended students and science majors). His current research interest is in the field of Chemical Education.
