Matthew Johll
Dr. Matthew Johll is Professor of Chemistry and Adjunct Professor of Forensic Science at Illinois Valley Community College, where he teaches introductory and general chemistry courses. Dr. Johll received his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from Iowa State University. In addition to his twenty years of teaching, he has also served as an expert witness/consultant for several murder cases in the United Kingdom, including a BBC investigation into a serial killer. He has also consulted on a Jane Doe case in central Illinois, in which new scientific methods are being employed to identify the victim. When he is not writing, editing, grading, or teaching, he can be found camping with his three sons and serving as Scoutmaster for their Boy Scout troop. He was recently honored with the National Outstanding Eagle Scout award for his professional achievements.

How Chemistry helps solve crimes.
Johll Investigating Chemistry uses forensic science as a framework to teach chemistry. The inherently fascinating topics of crime and criminal investigations serve as context to teach fundamental chemistry concepts to non-science majors. Capitalizing on student interest in this compelling topic, Johll is able to make learning chemistry exciting and accessible. Each chapter is driven by a case study with details from a real crime scenario, providing an investigative approach to learning chemistry concepts..
The new fourth edition of Investigating Chemistry will include:
- new content featuring fresh chapter-opening case studies for four chapters.
- media tools focused on a few key resources that address engagement and reading support, including videos of current events and real-world applications, and LearningCurve reading quizzes.
- VitalSource e-book.
