Inorganic chemists focus on studying every element in the periodic table, particularly transition metals. Their work spans from determining metal complex structures to developing reactions and catalysts. These scientists explore innovative approaches to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of industrial processes involving transition metal catalysis. The Chemistry Department offers resources for students pursuing a Ph.D. degree. As a dynamic and growing center of scientific exploration, the department combines rich traditions with forward-looking vision. Located in the state-of-the-art Frick Chemistry Laboratory, faculty and students push boundaries where chemistry intersects with other fields. They engage in cross-disciplinary research that could yield novel molecules, energy solutions, catalytic models, or groundbreaking materials. Additionally, they uphold chemistry's fundamental mission—analyzing substance composition and exploring their characteristics and interactions.
