Fall 2022
Each fall, many faculty give research presentations for interested students. Below is a list of scheduled faculty presentations specifically geared towards first-year students. Other faculty have instead requested to meet individually with interested prospective students. These lists will be updated as we receive information from faculty, but please do not consider either to be an exhaustive list of faculty who are taking students into their group. At any time, you are welcome to contact individual faculty members to request a meeting or learn more information about their groups.
All students are required to attend this DGS presentation:
Tuesday, September 6, 7:00–8:30 pm, 1024 Chemistry Annex, "The Process of Joining a Research Group" seminar
Professor Gregory Girolami, Director of Graduate Studies
List of upcoming presentations:
For more information about an individual faculty member, we have a full list of faculty available on our website.

From there you may also choose "Faculty by Research Area".
