He stayed at the same institution for his graduate work, completing his Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Gerald Willey in 1994 in inorganic chemistry. He was awarded a Royal Society European Science Exchange Program Post Doctoral Fellowship that he held at the University of Bergen, Norway during 1994 – 5 with Professor Steinar Husebye working on structural selenium and tellurium chemistry. From there, he accepted a post-doctoral research position at Baylor University for the period of 1996 – 7 where he worked on metallacarboranes with Professor F. G. A. Stone.
Dr. Rudd has taught chemistry courses at Northwestern State University (Louisiana), UW – Marathon County and UW – Fox Valley. He has held visiting researcher positions at Iowa State University (Professor Robert J. Angelici, 1998, 1999 and 2001), UCLA (Professor Rick Kaner, 2001, NSF Solid State Summer Research Fellow) and UC – Santa Barbara (2002, Professor Nicola Hill) . He is a former University of Wisconsin System Teaching Fellow and is presently chair of the Northeast Wisconsin section of the American Chemical Society. He is the author of 21 publications in peer-reviewed, international chemistry journals, several of which feature undergraduate research.
