The group focuses on understanding the ultrafast dynamics of non-equilibrium excited electronic states on 10s of femtosecond to picosecond timescales in order to determine the mechanisms of energy transfer in polycrystalline and heterogeneous materials and across interfaces.
Our faculty and graduate students conduct research in several major areas of chemistry.
From the beginning, the Department has embodied the University's central mission of excellence in both research and teaching. Fifteen Nobel laureates in Chemistry have been associated with the University of Chicago.
