Faculty by Subdiscipline

The chemistry program is organized into seven topical areas. Each topical area has a set of course requirements, proposal requirements, and options specific to the subdiscipline, as outlined in the student handbook. A subdiscipline chairperson advises on various aspects unique to the subdiscipline. Students are expected to select a subdiscipline before matriculating into the chemistry program.
