Research is the cornerstone of the graduate program
in chemistry. As such, faculty are involved in a
variety of fundamental research projects in the chemical
sciences, and participate in collaborative efforts
with other scientists across campus and around the
world.
- Biochemistry: characterization of ·OH radical
production in mitochondria; toxicity of aerosol
particles.
- Chemistry
Education: misconceptions in learning science;
the use of instrumentation and technology in the
chemistry lab.
- Computational
Chemistry: molecular
dynamics modeling of enzyme inhibitors; computational
studies of unusual or unstable molecules.
- Environmental
Chemistry: characterization
of aerosol particles and their role in biogeochemical
feedback cycles.
- Materials
Science: synthesis and characterization of fluorescent quantum dot materials.
- Medicinal
Chemistry: synthesis and characterization
of therapeutically important enzyme
inhibitors.
- Organic Chemistry: synthesis and characterization
of highly reactive intermediates such
as carbenes.
