research facilities
The research enterprise of the Department is centered in the Robert and Jane Meyrhoff Chemistry Building, the research facilities of which were completely renovated over a three year period terminating in the dedication to the Meyerhoff’s in October 2005. Faculty, post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students are daily engaged in a diverse array of mostly interdisciplinary investigations that span the five major sub-disciplines of Chemistry. While faculty maintain individual research labs, projects often straddle the expertise of multiple investigators, ensuring tangible technical and intellectual experience interacting with other groups. State-of-the-art NMR, Mass Spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and laser facilities serve all members of the Department and students are availed of small-group and individual instrument training to enhance and hone their expertise. As most Faculty research is sponsored by extramural grants, equipment in individual groups is state-of-the-art.
