PHYSICAL

CHEMISTRY

The physical division is home to experimental and theoretical chemists whose work spans materials chemistry, biophysics, catalysis, mass spectrometry, and machine learning. Our theoretical groups are interested in fields ranging from electronic structure of small molecules and polymers to new methods for simulating membrane and surface science.
