Over the years Richard Oakley has taught both classroom and laboratory courses, ranging from introductory chemistry to senior inorganic and graduate offerings. His research work has spanned the three-way interface between chemistry, physics and materials science, most recently focusing on the synthesis and solid state characterization of molecular radicals, biradicals and radical ions, with the goal of generating functional materials with unusual magnetic, conductive and/or optical properties. Outside of his academic pursuits he has been heavily involved with the development and organization of national and international scientific conferences.
