Research in Chemistry

该系提供各种令人兴奋和面向未来的研究课题, stretching from organic synthesis, biochemistry, theoretical chemistry, to physical chemistry and spectroscopy. Graduate students are required to engage in research, but we also encourage undergraduates to get involved. Between 2010 and 2019, our faculty has authored/co-authored 106 research papers in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, 通常与本科生和/或研究生研究人员共同撰写. 教师和学生参加许多国内和国际会议并发表论文. 我们的学生也有机会与教师一起参加带薪的暑期研究.

目前的拨款(接近100万美元)支持这项研究,并已资助

  • 装备精良的质谱分析设备(包括DART AccuTOF质谱仪)
  • the magnetic resonance facility (600 MHz NMR instrument)
  • the new SGI computer cluster
  • Standard instrumentation

周二研讨会系列:周二研讨会旨在将国际知名的同事带到系里,以留住教职员工, as well as undergraduate and graduate students, informed about the latest developments in the field, establish a network of contacts, and develop collaborations.

Chemistry Graduate Students

制药科学与化学专业的研究生在本科实验室担任助教. They are required to carry out research, and they receive up to 9 units tuition remission per semester.

Despite its small size, 化学系有研究生24人,博士后若干人.

 

Chemistry/Biochemistry Undergraduate Students

本科生有机会加入系里的研究小组,以完成化学/生物化学选修课程的要求, but also in form of summer internships. In the research groups, 他们将在当前项目中与研究生和教师主管一起工作. 他们要么获得单位的工作,要么(根据资金和资格的可用性)作为研究助理的工资.

 

Graduate Research Focus Areas ("Tracks") in Chemistry

1) Synthesis and Drug Discovery/Design本专业重点关注新化合物(合成和天然产物来源)作为潜在药物的发现和开发,以及化学合成和结构解析的新方法.

2) Bioanalytical/Physical Chemistry/Biochemistry: The track puts emphasis on the investigation of chemical, biochemical, 和生物医学问题与广泛的实验和计算工具. 这包括最先进的合成方法、仪器和分子技术.
