Jay Pike
Assistant Professor
Education:
Ph.D. - University of Michigan
Brief Biography:
I grew up in St. Joseph, MO, just 50 miles north of Kansas City. It was there that I received my B.S. in Chemistry from Missouri Western State University. I then moved to Ann Arbor, MI, where I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Michigan, designing bio-inorganic molecules that could facilitate the transport of potential drugs into the cell.
Over the past several years, my interest in food chemistry has led me into an adventure brewing beer and developing my research group around the chemistry of brewing.
I am a proud husband to my wife Kim and father of six children: Noah, Madelyn, Jillian, Evan, Kathryn, and Lillian.
In my "spare" time I love to work on cars (I have a 1973 BMW 2002 that is my current project), playing guitar, and sitting out on my deck with friends drinking my latest home-brewed beer.
