Biography

David Stone is an Associate Professor in the Teaching Stream at the University of Toronto's Department of Chemistry. His research interests primarily focus on chemical detection and measurement, alongside chemical education. He is particularly interested in the development of simple, low-cost sensor systems for continuous monitoring of critical chemical species. His ongoing projects involve developing ion-selective electrodes for continuous monitoring of nitrate in aqueous environments. Stone's current work utilizes chemically modified semiconducting polymer coatings for the potentiometric cyclic voltammetric simultaneous determination of nitrate. He is also involved in educational initiatives that include developing virtual chromatography experiments to supplement higher-level courses in analytical chemistry and producing multimedia learning objects that cover basic laboratory skills. Recently, he has conducted significant research in chemical education, studying the factors that influence student outcomes and learning experiences in undergraduate chemistry courses.
