Robert Damrauer is currently Faculty Fellow and Special Assistant to the Provost at the University of Colorado Denver and Professor of Chemistry. Previous administrative positions include Chair of Chemistry (2001-2003 and 1974-1979) and Acting Dean of UCD Graduate School (1989-1990).

Bob has been a faculty member at UC Denver since 1968, carrying out research in several areas, most recently in quantum mechanical computations of organometallic species. His teaching has concentrated in organic chemistry, both undergraduate and graduate. Efforts to involve undergraduate students in research starting in their early years has been a major activity. A Camille and Henry Dreyfus Scholar/Fellow grant to Bob in 1991 supported these undergraduate research activities in the Chemistry Department. Research publications have ranged from studies of organometallic species in condensed phase to gas-phase ion-molecule studies to the computational work already mentioned.
