Our department explores a broad range of atomic and molecular systems, creates new forms of matter, and develops experimental and theoretical tools to understand and control the behavior of electrons, atoms, molecules, and materials – to the benefit of science and society. Some of our research groups focus on core aspects of physical and synthetic chemistry, while others explore open questions at the interface with materials science, energy science, biophysics, and else. We are dedicated to developing the next generation in the chemical sciences and building an inclusive learning environment.
