Harry Keller

Dr. Harry E. Keller grew up in southern California, attending high school in a small, unremarkable beach town that has grown into one of California’s most desirable residential communities. He attended college at the California Institute of Technology, the first graduate of his high school, Mira Costa, to do so. He moved to New York City to attend Columbia University’s graduate program in chemistry and received his doctorate just over four years later.

Since that time, Dr. Keller has been a postdoctoral fellow, an industrial research scientist, a chemistry professor, a principal software engineer, a software development manager, a CIS professor, and vice president for R&D in a successful startup. He and his wife ran a software contract consulting practice for many years before developing the Smart Science® technology. Currently, Dr. Keller is the president of Smart Science Education Inc. (www.smartscience.net), a company that develops and markets highly innovative technological solutions for learning.

Dr. Keller holds two US patents. He has published reviewed articles in several areas of science, computer science, and education. He is a former chair of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society and previous coordinator of the Department of Energy’s New England Regional Science Bowls. He is the present science editor for the Educational Technology and Change Journal (www.etcjournal.com).
