Student Profile

Daniel Jaremko

Daniel Jaremko
Graduation: 2013
Major: Chemistry

Daniel Jaremko didn’t expect to take hold of a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrophotometer his first year of college, but research opportunities are just one of the many elements that make up the Alma College experience.

Working with Joel Dopke, assistant professor of chemistry, the New York senior used equipment like this to research the synthesis and characterization of semi-organic molecules.

“Research has pushed me to learn things I might not learn in class,” says Jaremko. “A lot of the work depends on how much I put into it and how well I know my stuff. It definitely lets me think on a level that is more challenging.”
