Currently Teaching

CHEM-175
1 Credits
This course provides an introduction to a modern chemical laboratory and complements CHEM-171 lecture material through the use of experimentation. Emphasis is placed on laboratory safety, general laboratory practices, and the use of instrumentation to aid in the understanding of concepts. Topics will include keeping a lab notebook, introduction to Excel, Avogadro’s number, atomic and molecular structure, and thermochemistry.
CHEM-493
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed student project or research in chemistry that could be considered of an original nature.
CHEM-495
1 - 3 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed student project or research involving laboratory work, computer modeling, or theoretical calculations that could be considered of an original nature. The level of study is appropriate for students in their final two years of study.
CHEM-790
1 - 6 Credits
Dissertation research by the candidate for an appropriate topic as arranged between the candidate and the research advisor.
CHEM-791
0 Credits
Continuation of Thesis
CHMI-351
3 Credits
This course covers descriptive inorganic reactions in terms of periodic trends. Topics will include nucleosynthesis and the birth of the universe, applications used in large-scale industrial processes and their environmental impacts, nanostructured materials, and bonding theory will also be discussed. A detailed study of solid-state chemistry and structure will also be addressed.
CHMI-664
3 Credits
This course provides an advanced investigation into fundamental principles of inorganic chemistry. Topics covered include molecular symmetry, molecular orbital theory, solid state chemistry, ligand field theory, and the application of physical techniques used in inorganic chemistry. The course will begin with a discussion of symmetry elements and operations, followed by a detailed examination of point groups and their applications to molecular symmetry. The course will then cover molecular orbital theory, including the construction of molecular orbitals and their use in predicting the properties of molecules. The course will also cover solid state chemistry, including crystal structures, defects, and electronic properties of solids. Ligand field theory will be introduced, including the use of symmetry and group theory to understand the electronic structure of transition metal complexes. Finally, the course will cover physical techniques used in inorganic chemistry, including X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy.
MTSE-777
3 Credits
This course is a capstone project using research facilities available inside or outside of RIT.
MTSE-793
0 Credits
Continuation of Thesis
MTSE-799
1 - 4 Credits
This course is a faculty-directed tutorial of appropriate topics that are not part of the formal curriculum. The level of study is appropriate for a masters-level student.
