Heat Plot and chromatograph for GC-MS analysis of derivitized water soluble compounds liberated from oil sands. | Assistant Professor Chemistry Utah State University - Uintah Basin Between 2005 and 2010, Dr. Langley was a member of the faculty at Utah State University - Uintah Basin. In this capacity he taught a wide range of chemistry courses including Principles of Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. He developed many new teaching methods and sought to bring the curriculum in line with the needs of the modern student. As part of this work he planned and directed a $250,000 upgrade all of chemistry instrumentation for the teaching laboratories. This included the purchase of an NMR, GC-MS, and a FT IR. He also incorporated the Vernier LabQuest instrumentation into the teaching curriculum which provided state-of-the-art science education opportunities for students. His research focused on the GCMS characterization of water soluble Naphthenic acid species liberated from oil sands treated with a hot sodium hydroxide solution. Dr. Langley and his students presented papers at the 2008 ACS NORM/RMRM and the 2010 ASMS National Conference.
