Our chemistry major students have applied their on-campus research knowledge to real-life settings through partnerships with institutions throughout the New York metropolitan area, including:
Our research and teaching laboratories provide hands-on experiences for students. As a chemistry/biochemistry major, you will collaborate with faculty who are committed to their role as mentor and teacher—conducting research on state-of-the-art equipment, including:
I came from Guyana to study chemistry at Adelphi. When I entered, I was mentored by Dr. Justyna Widera. We worked together a lot and she noticed I had potential in lab. She helped me secure a summer study abroad at the University of Warsaw and I had the opportunity to present at a conference in Dubai. As a result of those experiences, I was accepted into the PhD program at UCLA.
