Paired with faculty mentors, you’ll present findings on contemporary problems such as preparing and characterizing novel nanomaterials, understanding the chemistry of living systems, developing new energy technologies, expanding the toolbox for chemical and medical diagnostics, and synthesizing natural products and pharmaceuticals. In the last five years, 95 peer-reviewed papers have been published by Furman chemistry faculty, most of them with undergraduate coauthors.
In the past five years alone, we have sent more than 150 students to present at national research conferences. Since 2010, our undergraduates have co-authored scores of peer-reviewed manuscripts, including articles in prestigious journals such as Analytical Chemistry, Angewandte Chemie, Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, The Journal of Chemical Education, The Journal of Organic Chemistry, and The Journal of Physical Chemistry. This experience ensures our graduates are well positioned for pursuing careers or earning advanced degrees in chemistry.
