About the Department

The hallmark of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is a dedication to innovation in research and education. In the last ten years, the department has hired 10 of its 18 faculty members, completely renovated the Ph.D. and M.S. programs, and increased extramural research support more than ten fold. The department is currently composed of a dynamic group of 14 research active faculty, and approximately 35 graduate students and support staff. Faculty research interests span all areas of chemistry (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical) with particular emphasis placed on multidisciplinary approaches to solving cutting-edge research problems in all areas of science. The research interests of the faculty who maintain active research programs are described on
