Last revised - 21 November, 2000. The School has an active research program which spans most areas of contemporary chemistry. There is particular emphasis on combining fundamental studies with applications, and in taking multidisciplinary approaches to research problems. Detailed descriptions of staff research interests are available on their web pages . Research groups in the School are also closely associated with a number of the national Cooperative Research Centres.
Opportunities exist for students to spend time in overseas laboratories and facilities.
For example, UNSW is a member of the Australian Synchrotron Research Program, and staff and students regularly visit synchrotron facilities in Japan and the US to undertake measurements.
