An inquiry-driven undergraduate curriculum.
Stellar faculty, staff
and students. Expanding facilities. Collaborations with nearby
institutions. The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in the
College of Chemical and Life Sciences at the University of Maryland is gaining momentum. |

Dr. Sangbok Lee
Dr. Sangbok Lee is an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, MD. He received his BS in Chemistry and MS in physical chemistry (surface science and spectroscopy) and PhD in physical organic chemistry (molecular recognition) from Seoul National University, Korea. After finishing his PhD, he worked at a DRAM maker, LG Semicon (Hynix), for two years as senior research engineer and held a postdoctoral position at the University of Florida, before joining UMD in 2002. His research interests include ultrafast electrochromics, supercapacitor, and solar cell device based on the electrochemical synthesis of nanotube structure, magnetic nanotubes for targeted drug delivery, shape-coded nanotubes for dispersible biosensor, and molecular transport, wetting, and diffusion properties of nanotubes and nanotube membranes. |

Dr. Michael Doyle, Professor and Chair
Dr. Doyle had prior appointments at the University of Arizona, Hope College, and Trinity University. He also served as Vice President and President of Research Corporation. Dr. Doyle studies organic synthesis and the development of stereoselective catalysts. A recipient of the American Chemical Society's 2002 George C. Pimentel Award in Chemistry Education, Dr. Doyle has provided national and international leadership and service to many scientific bodies. He received his PhD from Iowa State University. |
