[3] The Department of Chemistry trains students to be technical chemists as well as allowing them to explore research pathways.
The school also offers, in conjunction with the Division of Graduate, Online & Professional Studies, the Computer Science Certificate.
The chair of the department is Dr. Holly Yanco, who focuses on robotics, assistive technology & artificial intelligence.
Dr. Basara focuses on the complex, integrated processes across weather, climate, water, and ecosystems with specific attention directed toward hydrometeorological and hydroclimatological extremes and associated impacts.
His research focuses on the convergence rate of Markov chains, birthday attacks, and combinatorics.
He was also one of the national winners of the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO).
The degree concentrations provided are General Physics, Astronomy, Photonics, and Radiological Health Sciences.
