The Chemistry Department offers resources for students pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. As a dynamic and growing center of scientific exploration, it combines rich historical foundations with a forward-looking vision. Located in the state-of-the-art Frick Chemistry Laboratory, faculty and students engage in cutting-edge research where chemistry intersects with other fields. Their collaborative, cross-disciplinary work spans from discovering novel molecules and energy solutions to pioneering catalytic techniques and breakthrough materials. They also uphold chemistry's traditional mission—analyzing substance composition and exploring their characteristics and interactions. Physical chemists examine matter across molecular, atomic, and subatomic scales, employing advanced theoretical and experimental approaches to quantify natural phenomena. Their investigations touch diverse domains like biological motion, light-driven reactions, and enzyme structure analysis.
