Faculty Research Programs
A completed research project is the cornerstone of the graduate program in chemistry. Following is a list of graduate faculty mentors and their respective areas of interest from which a student can choose:
Gil Belofsky
Isolation and structural characterization of organic compounds from plants. Medicinal and pharmacological applications of natural products.
Timothy Beng
Development of synthetic methodology for efficient and expedient construction and functionalization of nitrogen and oxygen-containing heterocycles, for eventual application in natural and unnatural product synthesis.
Levente Fabry-Asztalos
Design and synthesis of inhibitors against therapeutically important enzymes.
Yingbin Ge
Theoretical chemistry and computational studies of the properties of nanoclusters, nanocatalysis, astrochemical species and reactions.
Todd Kroll
Identification and characterization of protein-protein interactions regulating the size, position and lamination of functional areas of mammalian neocortex.
Sam Lohse
Investigations of Environmental and Biological Interactions of Functionalized Nanoparticles.
Dion Rivera
Spectroscopic investigations of macromolecular complexes of polyelectrolytes and surfactants in solution and at nanoparticle interfaces.
Tim Sorey
