We work at providing our majors with the opportunity to enhance their education and practical experience by participating with a dynamic research group using state of the art equipment and instrumentation and also through participation in activities as a member of the Chemistry Club. Our research programs are diverse, including organic synthesis using organosilanes as chiral templates, studies of the composition and chemical behavior of plasmas, solar energy photophysics, environmental monitoring and chemometrics. Faculty are active in research and have authored several books.
