Welcome to the Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry has over 30 faculty members
with active research programs encompassing modern aspects
of bioanalytical, biomaterials, biological,
catalytic, computational, nanomaterials, organometallic,
organic and polymer chemistry. A significant fraction
of faculty research addresses biological and biomedical
problems, nanomaterials, and energy research. The Department
is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
It maintains strong ties to departments in Biological
Sciences, Physics, and Chemical Engineering as well
as the School of Pharmacy and the UConn Health Center.
Faculty members have wide ranging collaborations extending
throughout the world including National Institutes of
Health, major industrial companies, and US and foreign
Universities and Research Institutes. It has formal
and informal graduate student exchange agreements with
a wide range of these institutions. Some members of
the Department are affiliated with the Institute of
Materials Science (IMS), which offers a wide variety
of research instrumentation and technical support, and
many faculty hold joint appointments with other departments
at UCONN and the UConn Health Center.
Congratulations!
Dr.
Azita Owlia, Ph.D. 1984 (Advisor Dr. James Rusling)
