About the course
The Department of Chemistry provides facilities for students intending to work toward the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The Department of Chemistry is a vital, expanding hub of scientific inquiry with deep historic roots and a ready grasp on the future. Housed in the world-class Frick Chemistry Laboratory, faculty and students work at the frontiers of science where the lines between chemistry and other disciplines merge. They conduct collaborative, interdisciplinary research with the potential to produce anything from new molecules and forms of energy to advanced models of catalysis and innovative materials. They also are immersed in the classic pursuit of chemistry -- to examine the composition of substances and investigate their properties and reactions. Theoretical chemists use basic principles to understand an array of physical and biological phenomena. Research programs take advantage of computational tools and simulations to understand important processes. Theoretical chemistry research in the department ranges from investigation of electron transfer events to particle packing to understanding hydrodynamical fluctuations in biological systems.
