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 forward-looking innovation. 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 developing groundbreaking catalytic methods and advanced materials. They remain committed to chemistry's fundamental mission—analyzing molecular structures and exploring their characteristics and interactions. Theoretical chemists apply core concepts to interpret diverse physical and biological phenomena. Research initiatives leverage computational methods and modeling to examine critical chemical processes. The department's theoretical chemistry studies encompass everything from electron transfer mechanisms to molecular packing arrangements and hydrodynamic behaviors in biological systems.
