Ryan Merkley

Ryan Merkley was born and raised here in Mesa, Arizona, and he apparently loved the summer heat so much he stayed around to attend Arizona State University for both his undergrad and graduate studies. Ryan focuses his instruction on general chemistry and biochemistry courses at ASU Polytechnic. He has a special interest in developing new methods for helping students learn and understand the patterns of chemistry, beyond the mindless memorization.

Merkley has been involved with developing educational material that goes beyond the textbooks, including video production and graphic design, with the goal of creating engaging science content.
