Collaborating with your professors on research projects will reinforce classroom learning and expose you to best research practices. Here, you will have the opportunity to join in faculty-led undergraduate research on topics like organic chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, and inorganic and molecular modeling.
We also promote interdisciplinary research with other Worcester State departments in physics, biology, and the natural sciences.
As the fall semester began, Weichu Xu, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry, realized the pandemic meant visits to the lab would be restricted for many students and impossible for those in isolation, so they would need extra help to prepare for and understand experiments. He thought videos on lab topics might fill the gap.
Worcester State University’s Chemistry Department has been enriching the summers of local high school students by running an Environmental STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Connections program.
Francisco Lamelas, Ph.D., and Sudha Swaminathan, Ph.D., both of the Earth, Environment, and Physics Department, participated in the August 10, 2015, meeting of the New England Association of Chemistry Teachers at Clark University.
