Directory of Graduate Research 1993 [antikvár]

ACS DIRECTORY OF GRADUATE RESEARCHFaculties, Publications, and Doctoral and Master's Theses in Departments or Divisions of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Medicinal/Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Clinical Chemistry, Polymer Science, Food Science, Forensic Science, Marine Science, and Toxicology at Universities in the United States and Canada, 1993This Directory covers nearly completely the universities and colleges known to offer organized curricula leading to doctoral and master's degrees in the ten areas concerned. We hope that it will serve the reader needing to know what degrees are available and what fields of specialization may be pursued in each institution. The information givén by individual faculty members should make their particular research interests clear and thus help students to determine where a specific research interest may be effectively pursued. Every attempt is made to obtain complete information on each department included, but for accurate up-to-date information, we suggest that the reader contact departments directly.We especially hope that this Directory will serve undergraduate students, and their faculty advisors, in choosing graduate schools appropriate to their particular interests and talents. Research activity is, of course, not the only yardstick the student should use in selecting a graduate school. Mere numbers of publications are not necessarily a proper measure of research activity, though a paucity of published work may be an indication of lack of research activity. For some discussion of other criteria, the student may wish to consider the suggestions incorporated in the booklet, "Planning for Graduate Work in Chemistry."* But when all aspects of graduate study are discussed, one still returns to the critical and central feature of an emphasis on experience in research. Undergraduate education prepares the student to bring to bear on a problem the accumulated knowledge of humankind and to apply all available information toward its solution. Graduate education prepares students to solve problems when sufficient information is not available, by themselves extending our knowledge; and the method of preparation is essentially that of apprenticeship, or working together with a research scholar engaged in the extension of knowledge. The quality of research experience available in various departments is thus a valid concern of the prospective student. By studying the facts presented in this Directory, and by being attentive to the quality of the research publications whose references are given here, the student may evaluate some factors in the selection of a graduate school.As in earlier editions, this Directory gives information on the degrees available in each of the university departments or divisions reported in the Directory, and on the specific fields of interest and activity of the faculty members in these departments. Research in these fields may, of course, be carried on in other university departments. The criterion for inclusion in this Directory is that the department, division, or school must offer an organized curriculum leading to the doctoral and/or master's degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, medicinal/pharmaceutical chemistry, clinical chemistry, polymer science, food science, forensic science, marine science, or toxicology. Any departments that have been inadvertently overlooked are invited to correspond with the Committee on Professional Training.Special statistical summaries appear in the introductory section of the book for the departments that are included in the Directory. These summaries provide information on the number of doctoral and master's degrees granted in 1990-1991 and in 1991-1992 (July 1 through the following June 30 in each case); the number of first year and total graduate enrollments as of September 1992; the number of postdoctoral appointments as of September 1992; and the number of full-time and part-time faculty members as of September 1992.The data have been supplied by the respective departments in response to an invitation from the Committee on Professional Training. In each of the ten sections (Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Bio-chemistry, Medicinal/Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Clinical Chemistry, Polymer Science, Food Science, Forensic Science, Marine Science, and Toxicology) the institutions are listed alphabetically. For each department, information on the degrees offered and the fields of specialization appears first. After this departmental information, the faculty members are listed alphabetically. For each, the following information is given: year of birth, academic rank, degrees received, major postdoctoral appointments, Held of research, specific subjects of current research interest, telephone number, and computer address. This is followed by a list of research publications in reverse chronological order for the last two years (January 1,See block announcement on page v.
