Research Efforts by Faculty
Welcome to our Faculty research labs
Our faculty conduct research in broader areas of chemistry, environmental science, life sciences, materials science, and photonics. These research activities are supported by funding from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, US Army, US Department of Energy, as well as industry.
