Chemistry Faculty
(synthesis, mechanism, and catalysis cluster)Our faculty are well-known in the chemistry community, including three editors of major ACS journals (Journal of Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Journal of the American Chemical Society), one member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, and the recipients of numerous prestigious awards.
The table below lists all of our faculty, as well as those in other departments with appointments in the Department of Chemistry. Click on the links below a faculty name to learn more about their research, or on one of the links on the right to view a list of faculty in a specific area. The Group listings show faculty associated with the typical chemical disciplines, while the Cluster links display the faculty associated with each of these cross-disciplinary areas.
