Meet Our World-Class Faculty
MEET THE FACULTY
The faculty at Virginia Tech are scientifically innovative, highly collaborative, and global leaders in their fields. They endeavor to make discoveries that redefine the bounds of chemistry, while maintaining a student-centered focus on graduate education.
Whether through research mentoring, classroom teaching, or supportive guidance, each faculty member is committed to your success at Virginia Tech. Take a look at our faculty, learn more about their research, and sign up to request a Zoom meeting.
The link at the end of each section will lead to a Qualtrics survey where you can select faculty with who to meet. The survey is not section-specific so you can go at your own pace. Enjoy!
