Why study Chemistry at CU 色吧亚洲?
The behavior of atoms, molecules, and ions determines the sort of world we live in, our shapes and sizes, and even how we feel on a given day.听Chemists who understand these phenomena are well-equipped to tackle problems faced by our modern society.听
Chemistry, in particular,听is the study of matter and energy and the interaction between them. Sometimes called the 鈥�central science,鈥� chemistry connects the other natural sciences together in a way that is both theoretical and applied, and allows for a wide variety of science-related careers.
Within chemistry there are a number of branches, all of which are researched at CU 色吧亚洲. These branches include analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. In addition, CU 色吧亚洲 also has a strong research presence into materials and nanoscience, environmental chemistry and atmospheric chemistry (which is one of only a few analytical groups nationwide that offer the focus).
Biochemistry is also researched at CU 色吧亚洲 but is located within the听Department of Biochemistry.
The Department of Chemistry at CU 色吧亚洲 is also one of the best in the nation, with our graduate program ranking听#30 in the United States according to the most recent US News and World听Report rankings, with the Physical Chemistry specialization ranking #14 by the same metrics.听
In addition,听the department听has a number of excellent and award-winning faculty, including, but not limited to, three听Distinguished Professors, four members of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and National Academy of Sciences, eight National Science听Foundation CAREER winners, a recipient of the Governor's Award for Research Impact, five highly cited researchers听as measured by ISI and Thomson Reuters,听five Guggenheim fellowship recipients and numerous fellows for the American Geophysical Union, Alfred P. Sloan, American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. As well,听the department's faculty are incredibly innovative, resulting in over听150 patents.
