Research

All faculty in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Chemistry department have active research programs, and three of our faulty support their research through externally funded federal grants. In addition, all of our faculty involve students in research.

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ has a very active summer research program, with 15-20 students participating in lab research every summer. Students also take part in research through independent study and most importantly, through our senior thesis requirement. Students regularly co-author papers with faculty and present their work at national and regional meetings.

For more information on specific research in our department, please see our faculty profiles.
