Research Groups
Our graduate faculty members, now numbering over
30, principally come from the departments of chemistry and physics but include
faculty from medical biochemistry, engineering, astronomy, and geology. These
faculty members include both theorists and experimentalists. Their research ranges
from studies of high-temperature plasmas to studies near absolute zero, from projects
in astrophysics to materials science, and from elementary particles to single
molecules and supramolecular assemblies, liquids, liquid crystals, and solids.
In the course of your graduate study, you will perform research under the direct
supervision of one of these faculty members.
Chemical physics and spectroscopy at Ohio State have long held a solid, international
reputation for excellence. For over 60 years Ohio State has been the site of the
annual OSU International
Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy. We encourage our graduate students
to take an active role in this meeting, which typically brings 500 scientists
to campus.
Each year we have a large number of postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists
who bring expertise from around the world to our program. Three seminar programs--in
theory,
in physical
chemistry, and in atomic,
molecular, and optical physics--also bring visitors to campus and encourage
a strong level of interaction among faculty and students.
Both the physics and chemistry
departments are among the very best at Ohio State. The University has a continuing
commitment to the research goals of these departments.
