内容简介：
【简介】
Chemistry
Potential research topics for students interested in chemistry include molecular design and synthesis, optical and electrochemical sensors, nanotechnology, design and fabrication of nanodevices for molecular electronics and photovoltaics applications, micro- and nanofluidics, surface science, photonic crystals, crystal engineering, drug design and synthesis, photochemistry and photophysics, spectroscopy. Students in chemistry will have the opportunity to work in tightly focused groups on multidisciplinary projects spanning chemistry, biochemistry, materials science and many of the engineering disciplines.
Specialty equipment available for research in these areas includes an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and other surface characterization techniques. All the necessary synthetic characterization methods are also available, including high field NMR, GC-MS, HPLC, IR, UV-VIS. Several high peak power lasers are used in transient photochemistry research.
Faculty participating in chemistry research include Prof. Grant McGimpsey, Prof. John MacDonald, Prof. Venkat Thalladi, Prof. James Dittami, Prof. James Pavlik, Prof. Robert Connors.
Biochemistry
Potential research topics for students interested in biochemistry include plant - pathogen interactions, study of heavy metal transporters in microbes and plants, analysis of plant transcription factors, anti-microbial peptides and comparisons of terpene production upon alterations in growth conditions. Students will conduct their research as part of a highly integrated team of professionals with expertise in chemistry, biochemistry, plant physiology, molecular biology and enzymology.
