PhD in Physical Chemistry

Physical chemistry employs the fundamental laws of physics to explain chemical and biochemical processes. The subject covers three major areas. 

  • Chemical spectroscopy, studies of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter.
  • Chemical thermodynamics, studies of matter at equilibrium.
  • Chemical dynamics, describing the matter under change. Modern physical chemistry uses a molecular point of view and is strongly coupled to quantum mechanics and computational chemistry.
