The Chemical Physics program provides students with an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of chemistry, specifically those which work in tandem with physics, often relating to the structure of atoms and molecules. Chemical Physics work ranges from the theoretical to the experimental: chemical physicists are able to explain the behavior of matter through mathematical models and use the latest technological tools and advancements to experiment the complexities of chemical systems. With the utilization of quantitative methods, the ultimate goal of Chemical Physics is for students to be able to integrate concepts and methodology from chemistry and physics to modern, interdisciplinary issues in any scientific discipline, while simultaneously gaining experience in lab work, computational skills, and scientific communication skills.
