Dr. Savage joined the faculty of the University of New Haven in September of 2005. Prior to coming to UNH, she was an adjunct professor at Saint Joseph's College and the University of Connecticut at Hartford. She also spent two years at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow.
Dr. Savage's research interest is in the area of chemical sensors. She is currently developing composites of metal oxides and conducting polymers for detecting organic vapors.
Dr. Savage is also the director of the Summer Institute for Young Women, a weeklong science and engineering program for middle school girls. www.newhaven.edu/camps
