Dr. Warner is a faculty member of the Department of Chemistry at Louisiana State University (LSU). His affiliation with LSU has resulted in him serving as the former chair of the chemistry department, Philip W. West Professor of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry, Boyd Professor of the LSU System, and vice chancellor for strategic initiatives. He received his B.S. degree in chemistry from Southern University and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Washington.
Dr. Warner has received numerous awards for his research, teaching, and mentoring activities. These awards include the CASE Louisiana Teacher of the Year Award, the Louisiana State University Distinguished Faculty Award, the American Association for the Advancement of Science Lifetime Mentor Award, the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for achievements in analytical chemistry, and a Fulbright Fellowship for research and teaching in Kenya. In 1997, President Clinton presented Dr. Warner with the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring, administered on behalf of the White House by the National Science Foundation. Other honors include the Council of Chemical Research Diversity Award and the Distinguished Alumnus Award presented by the University of Washington College of Arts and Sciences. In 2005, he received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Marquette University and the George Washington Carver Achievement Award from Tuskegee University. Recently, Dr. Warner received the Banneker Legacy Award from the Benjamin Banneker Institute for Science and Technology and the Southern Chemist Award from the Memphis Section of the American Chemical Society for his scientific accomplishments.
RESEARCH ABSTRACT SUMMARY:
Isiah Warner's analytical chemistry research focuses on the development and application of improved methodologies (chemical, mathematical, and instrumental) for studying complex chemical systems. His HHMI project provides an academic support system—a "mentoring ladder"—that integrates research, education, and mentoring to enable undergraduate students the opportunity for advancement in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The mentoring ladder is the project's main tool for implementing metacognitive learning strategies.
