Ph.D. in Chemistry

A Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Texas at Arlington will prepare you with rare and valuable skills for a career as an independent scientist and leader. Our research programs offer well-funded opportunities and collaborative environments with advanced chemical instrumentation at the forefront of important research and development initiatives. We build analytical techniques and instruments for use in biomedicine, the environment, and even on the Mars lander. We discover molecular and biomolecular anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, immunomodulating, and neuronal survival medicines; and define underlying genetic and enzyme control of physiological processes. We study energy and resource solutions by new catalyst design. We synthesis complex naturally occurring molecules and new species with valuable function in (bio)sensing, separations sciences, and medicine. And we computationally investigate thermodynamic and kinetic properties of materials and biomolecules.
