Chemistry is an academic field that covers constructional principles and aspects of material changes from diverse perspectives, ranging from a micro perspective (atoms and molecules) to a macro perspective. The Department of Chemistry contributes to sustainably constructing an easily-livable society by producing environment-friendly substances that are academically meaningful and useful for human lives.
Research Groups & Research Areas
-
Organic Chemistry
The area of organic chemistry conducts research on the various properties and synthetic processes for manufacturing organic compounds. Organic compounds contain carbon atoms, and by bonding a large number of carbon atoms, we can form compounds of complicated structures. The molecules making up living organisms, as well as the majority of important compounds used for medicine and the like, are organic compounds.

Inorganic Chemistry
The area of inorganic chemistry deals with all elements in the periodic table, but the research is mainly focused on the metal elements. In particular, "complexes" can change the nature even of a metal element by changing its coat (ligands). By changing molecular sequences while enjoying beautiful colors, we open up a world of new compounds that are functional or serve as catalysts.

Physical Chemistry
What structure and nature does a substance have, and how does it react? The thrill of physical chemistry lies in finding answers to these kinds of questions through fine-tuned experiments and analysis. How about jumping into a world of substances never seen by anyone else before?

Chemical Education
TUS has a strong tradition of training junior and senior high school teachers, and it develops educational experiments, based in physical research, geared towards junior and senior high school students. TUS is also studying how to improve the vague and incorrect texts found in modern textbooks. Are you interested in turning your own research results into lessons for the classroom?
