Areas of Interest Matrix
The diverse research interests of the Chemistry Faculty do not permit their easy classification into the traditional areas of Chemistry: Analytical, Physical, Organic and Inorganic. However, they are listed here in a matrix of different aspects of chemistry research and with a broad, descriptive title for their research interests, with their traditional classification indicated by a red star (*). More information about the research activities of the Faculty, including their interdisciplinary interests, is provided in the individual descriptions of their research on the pages which follow.
