Spectroscopy / Physical Chemistry
Physical chemists study matter at its molecular, atomic and subatomic levels. They harness powerful theoretical and experimental methods to gain a deeper understanding of natural phenomena in a quantitative manner. Physical chemistry research contributes to many interesting areas of study including biological dynamics, photo-initiated processes and structural enzymology.
