Jordan Tanen

Jordan Tanen completed her PhD in Chemistry under the supervision of Dr. Kaveh Jorabchi at Georgetown University,focusing on the development of ionization methods for mass spectrometric F detection.

 Dr. Jordan Tanen completed both her BS in chemistry and Master's of Forensic Science in 2019 and 2020 through a combined degree program offered by the GW BS Chemistry/ MFS Forensics. It was in this program where she developed an interest in analytical chemistry, inspiring her to pursue a PhD in chemistry at Georgetown University under the supervision of Dr. Kaveh Jorabchi. Dr. Tanen’s PhD research focused on developing novel ionization methods for mass spectrometric detection of elemental fluorine. During this program, she discovered an interest in teaching, leading her back to GW as a Visiting Professor. Laboratory Manager Dr. Kris Noble had this to say about Jordan, “She has brought fresh energy to the Instrumental Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (CHEM 4123) by developing engaging new experiments for students.”  Dr Tanen is excited to be back at GW in this new capacity.
