Welcome!
We invite you to explore our Web pages to learn more about the activities
and opportunities in the field of chemistry at the University of
Alabama in Huntsville.
A Brief History
The M.S. program in Chemistry was implemented at UAH
in 1975. This program has both a Plan 1 (thesis) and Plan 2 (coursework) option.
This innovative program involves fifteen faculty at UAH and presently has
five students in it.
The Faculty and Research
Currently, the chemistry department is composed of eleven tenured or tenure earning
faculty members, five research professors, and four adjunct professors. Research interests
at UAH are varied, as shown in the faculty
listing. Research in the Department of Chemistry is pursued along all five of the main
subdivisions, i.e., analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
Students have access not only to the
University Library, with 6000 holdings in chemistry and
150 current chemical journal subscriptions, but also to the U.S Army Redstone Scientific
Information Center, which is one of the best scientific libraries in the country.
