Our faculty work to provide a high quality education and research at both the M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels. There are currently 9 faculty, and we expect several new appointments in the next few years. Faculty in the Department are involved in a wide range of research representing the various disciplines (Bioinorganic Chemistry, Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Photochemistry, Radiation Chemistry, X-ray Crystallography) and also newly emerging interdisciplinary areas.
