The School of Chemistry is a vibrant community of 22 academic staff members, approx. 50 postdoctoral researchers and over 100 postgraduate research students that generates an annual research income in excess of €5 million. These funds are attracted by research across the School’s three core disciplines Inorganic and Synthetic Materials Chemistry, Organic, Medicinal and Biological Chemistry and Physical, Computational and Materials Chemistry.Exciting research topics currently under investigation in the School are the synthesis and characterisation of novel inorganic materials including nanomaterials and supramolecular systems, drug design, development of new synthetic methods, biomimetic catalysis, photochemistry, photomedicine, electrochemistry, surface science and the development and application of predictive computational modelling. This diverse research is strengthened and supported by the School’s strong links with a number of Institutes of excellence.
