Physical Chemistry at SDSU
Physical Chemistry is the study of those fundamental laws that govern the
behavior of all molecules. If you're a chemist, and you want to
understand what you're doing, then you're a physical chemist.
P-chem and p-chem-ish labs at SDSU include:
- Yuezhi Mao's group,
developing computational methods, especially as related to noncovalent
and weak interactions;
- David Pullman's group,
studying chemistry of nanomaterials and surfaces by experimental and
and computational methods;
- Andrew Cooksy's group,
investigating the properties of reactive chemical intermediates
in combustion, interstellar chemistry, and biochemistry;
- Greg Holland's group,
using magnetic resonance spectroscopy to probe the properties of
biomaterials.
