The chemistry program at Illinois Tech prepares you for careers in academia, industry, and government. Our program spans the traditional areas of research in physical, polymer, organic, inorganic, analytical, and biological chemistry.

Chemistry faculty research programs cut across the traditional boundaries to solve real-world problems in catalysis, pharmaceuticals, therapeutics, materials, and sustainable energy. Research projects include the development of magnetic materials for biophysical applications; creation of nanoparticle-based reactive oxygen sensors and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy tracking of nanoshells with Raman-active PEGs; design and synthesis of novel materials for application in chemical sensing, catalysis, energy storage, and biomedical usage; and the design and synthesis of structurally rigid artificial photosynthetic systems to mimic natural photosynthesis.
