Tatum, Prima
Dr. Prima R. Tatum is a native of Beaumont, Texas. She started her academic career at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas where she majored in Chemical Engineering before transferring to Texas Southern University (TSU) in Houston, Texas; where she earned a B.S. in Chemistry. Dr. Tatum decided to continue her education in chemistry and she earned a M.S. in Analytical Chemistry, also from Texas Southern University. Her research involved the use of Rhodium as a matrix modifier for the determination of lead concentrations in both biological and aqueous systems using Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption techniques. While Prima was matriculating through the master’s program at TSU, she discovered her interest in organic chemistry. After graduating from Texas...Read More
