Research Centers & Institutes
The Chemistry Department is involved with a variety of interdisciplinary research efforts across the university. Students and faculty perform research in the following centers and institutes.
- The interdisciplinary includes eight faculty members actively collaborating from disciplines including physical, analytical and inorganic chemistry, and theoretical and experimental physics. Graduate and undergraduate students come from all areas of science to form research teams. Their efforts are forging new ways to diagnose disease, map cellular components and detect improvised explosive devices, among other outcomes.
- houses collaborative interdisciplinary research on advanced materials ranging from complex functional solids and fluids to novel thin film superconductors and materials for strategic applications.
- The is one of 10 Energy Frontier Research Centers across the country founded by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2014. Researchers focus on the layered and two-dimensional materials that have potential for clean-energy technologies.
- The plays a central role in high-performance computing for research across the university.
