We invite you to browse our collection of photos taken during a single spring semester Thursday afternoon. You will see what it is like to take classes, participate in labs, and have individual hands-on research projects with the faculty and staff of the IC Chemistry Department.
As mentioned earlier, chemistry and biochemistry majors have the opportunity to begin research projects with faculty members as early as their freshman year, and each faculty member serves as a resident expert in a specific branch of chemistry.
You are are now looking at one of Professor Vincent DeTuri's physical/analytical chemistry labs. The DeTuri group is currently working on developing accurate models for various solvent and reaction systems, and they make use of one of the department's newest instruments: the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Students working in the DeTuri group have the opportunity to learn a great deal about mass spectrometry and use the triple quadrupole mass spec to acquire experimental data to correlate with their theoretical calculations.
