Kimberly Berkowski graduated from Jeff Moore's group in the Summer of 2004 and was one of the founding members of Careers in Academia. Her thesis title was "Ultrasonic Degradation of Link-Functionalized Polymers for the Activation of Chemical Reactions." After graduation she excepted a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an Instructor / Lecturer in organic chemistry. While there she has distinguished herself as an exceptional teacher as evidenced by her student evaluations. She also recieved an award for her teaching during her first year at MIT.
