The Department of Chemistry will kick off its Summer 2021 Program of Research Teaching and Applied Learning (PORTAL) activities on June 1. Student-faculty research teams will engage in a variety of projects including:
- Development of Analytical Methods for the Analysis of Hemp and CBD
- Determination of Ca and Mg in Grape Leaves Using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy
- Development of Green Chemistry Experiments For Use in the Organic Chemistry Laboratory
- Investigating the Chemical Interactions Dictating Thermal Protection in Bacteria
- Acetylation of Pentoses for Conformational Studies via Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
- Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Computational Models in Drug Discovery and Biomedical Research
- Development of the Fourier Grid Hamiltonian Method for Computation of Vibrational Properties of Challenging Molecules
- Applications of Solvatochromic Dye sensors Utilizing Room Temperature Ionic Liquid Doped Polymers
Results of these projects will be presented at the annual PORTAL Symposium early in the Fall 2021 term.
