Physical Chemistry
With both basic and problem-focused science represented, the Physical Chemistry division is a microcosm of the fruitful dichotomy that is the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Tech. Our faculty in the Physical Chemistry division address a wide span of problems, ranging from polymer characterization and analysis, to new techniques to solve the electronic Schrödinger equation.
