The Virginia Tech Department of Chemistry has a rich history, a strong international reputation and a bright future. Our curricula provide the educational foundation for all Virginia Tech science and engineering students. Our undergraduate and graduate degree programs prepare society's future chemists and scientists. Our alumni are gainfully employed in the industrial, government, and academic sectors.
(November 16, 2009) Dr. Florian Bischoff, a postdoctoral associate in the Chemistry Department, has received a research fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Dr. Bischoff received his PhD at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. At Virginia Tech he is working with Prof. Edward Valeev on a new approach to electronic structure theory that replaces conventional orbital basis sets with localized mathematical functions.
(November 12, 2009) Prof. Emeritus Harold M. McNair has been featured in the "Icons of Chromatography" series in LC-GC Europe, a leading trade journal for separation technology. The article recognizes Dr. McNair as one of the world's "foremost authorities on the theory and application of virtually all mainstream separation techniques." The text of an accompanying interview with Dr. McNair may be found here.
(September 25, 2009) Taylor Mach, a first-year chemistry graduate student, was one of six VT students selected to receive an ICTAS Doctoral Scholarship. The award includes a stipend and graduate tuition for four years, as well as support for conference travel. Mach earned his undergraduate degree at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, and he intends to study molecular electronic structure theory with Prof. Daniel Crawford. (more...)
