Physical Chemistry
|
This track thrives on the interplay of theory and experiment. Examples of broad areas of research: (1) Spectroscopy and microscopy are employed to reveal reactions and interactions crucial in biology, materials science, solar energy conversion, and gas phase dynamics; (2) Theoretical and computational methods are developed to discover mechanisms of protein folding and function or to develop new drugs; (3) Quantum and statistical mechanics are applied to model electron and energy transfer, biochemical reactions, aerosol chemistry, and gas adsorption in porous nanomaterials. Many research programs have significant overlap with Structural Biology and Biophysics, Chemical Biology, and Analytical and Atmospheric Chemistry tracks. Close connections also exist with the Materials Science and other engineering programs.
