The impact of technology in chemistry is undeniable.
Chemists’ use of technology helps manufacturers design more productive and efficient processes, allows pharmaceutical firms to characterize new compounds for drug discovery, and aids in conducting research that requires studying the fundamental properties of atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions.
Students majoring in computer science + chemistry have the opportunity to combine the study of computer science with training in chemistry to gain novel perspectives in interdisciplinary work that prepares them for a variety of careers. These specializations may include analysis of experimental imaging data to visualization of in vivo chemical reactions.
Students will be exposed to the tools of both disciplines — formal methods, analysis, computer programming, and empirical research — with the aim of acquiring the skills required by the field. CS + chemistry majors might develop computer models or simulate chemical and biochemical processes, perform statistical analysis of large data sets, or create visualizations of reaction pathways, molecular interactions, or other phenomena.
