Biography

Dr. Alex Manzewitsch joined the CIU faculty in 2023 after teaching general and organic chemistry at the University of South Carolina (2017–2023). His research focus is developing systems to observe how organic solvent environments affect solvated molecule interactions and geometries. He also holds an interest in studying and optimizing teaching methods for improving student performance in organic chemistry courses.

Dr. Manzewitsch’s vision for the department of health and natural sciences is to develop a premiere program for preparing Christians to enter the medical field both in the U.S. and abroad. Furthermore, He aims to establish a chemistry program with a focus on training chemical researchers. In everything, his intention is to teach students the harmony of God’s creation, logical problem solving, and an ethic of excellence so that “that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
