Environmental Chemistry

 

The environmental chemistry program at WSU has a strong emphasis upon the remediation of contaminants that result from the nuclear fuel cycle.  The world-class research in this program  spans fundamental developments in instrumentation, synthetic methodologies, molecular recognition, and computational modelling of environmental processes. These methodologies are frequently used by our faculty to understand the migration of species through environmental systems.

Student Perspectives

 

"The Analytical, Environmental, and Radiochemistry (AER) group at Washington State is a very exciting group to belong in. The diversity of the research exposes you to many different techniques you might not see in your own research. The research being done by the AER group has direct applications to everyday life that give a sense of purpose to the work. The AER group is one of the larger groups in the Chemistry Department, but the majority of the faculty and the students are very down to earth and approachable. My favorite quality about the AER group is the sense of family that exists among my fellow graduate students. "
