Equipment includes FT-NMR and spectrometers, one mass spectrometer equipped with a GC-TOF module and a MALDI Micro module, one triple-quadrupole MS/MS system, an ion-trap MSn system, X-ray diffractometers, a Bruker FT-IR / FT-Raman system, a UV-Vis fluorimeter, GC / MS, HPLC. Relevant central University facilities include the Materials Characterization and Preparation Facility, the Nanoelectronics Fabrication Facility and Environmental Central Facility, all offering a wide range of advanced instruments. Computer facilities for postgraduate students include molecular graphic/ modeling, quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics computations. Analytical/ Environmental Chemistry Method development and applications for environmental and bioanalytical chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, food and drug analysis,microfluidics. Synthetic Chemistry Organic methodology, total synthesis, organometallic chemistry and catalysis, coordination chemistry. Materials Chemistry Inorganic and hybrid materials, nanomaterials, polymeric AIE and organic electronic materials. Physical/ Computational Chemistry Laser-based spectroscopy, dynamics of biomolecular and supramolecular systems, computational chemistry. Chemical Biology/ Medicinal Chemistry Protein organization in metabolism, signal transduction, medicinal chemistry, drug design, pharmaceutical formulation, application of AIE materials. Master of Philosophy in Chemistry The MPhil program aims to train students to conduct independent research in Chemistry. A candidate for an MPhil degree is expected to demonstrate knowledge in the discipline and to synthesize and create new knowledge, making a contribution to the field. Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry The MSc program aims to prepare BSc graduates for employment and a career in analytical laboratories. This ranges from materials and forensic testing to environmental sampling and food quality control. The application of modern analysis techniques to real work problems as well as physical principles underlying such methods will be covered. In addition to core and elective lecture modules, the program also includes laboratory and project based practical courses, providing extensive handson experience. The program may also be used as a stepping stone to a research postgraduate degree. chem-msc.hkust.edu.hk Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Through the execution and completion of a substantial research project, the PhD program seeks to prepare students to become mature, independent scientists who are capable of the design, initiation and execution of their own original research in academic or industrial environment. It requires the application of considerable depth and breadth of scholarship, and there must be substantial discovery of new science. Research Postgraduate Programs Taught Postgraduate Program PhD MPhil MSc The Department has established international links with major chemical industries and has played a key role in setting up university-wide collaborations involving universities, research institutions and companies in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan, Europe and the US.
