Students will gain hands-on experience with analytical chemistry tools, techniques, methods, and instrumentation. We will also focus on experimental design, and data interpretation such as calibration methods and statistical analysis.  Students will perform experiments on research-grade instrumentation and learn to make decisions based on their data.

Methods for preparation, isolation, and characterization of complex organic molecules, natural products, and polymers.

Laboratory practice of quantitative chemical analysis

Second course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material.

Doctoral thesis research in the Lieberman lab

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

Chemical thermodynamics, energetics of chemical reactions, changes of state, and electrochemistry.
