Chemistry has been called the science of what things are. Its intent is the exploration of the nature of the materials that fabricate our physical environment, why they hold the different properties that depict them, how their atomic structure may be fathomed, and how they may be manipulated and changed. Although organic reactions have been conducted by man since the discovery of fire, the science of Organic chemistry did not develop until the turn of the eighteenth century, mainly in France at
I am writing to apply for the position of Scientist at The Roche Group. I am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department at Reed College. Before joining Reed College, I was a Senior Research Associate at the CUNY Institute for Macromolecular Assemblies and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at City College of New York. I obtained my Ph.D. in Chemistry (specializing in Molecular Biophysics) at the City University of New York (CUNY) in September of 2009. My cross-disciplinary
When I got to college, I decided to pursue a career in one of the following fields; health sciences, sciences, and education. For health sciences, I chose to become a medical doctor while for sciences, I chose to be an organic chemist and for education I decided to be a chemistry professor. Each of these careers is unique and has its educational requirements and targeted audience. With the advancement of technologies, hundreds of new technologies emerge yearly in these careers resulting in development
Hoff, a Dutch physical and organic chemist, was born in Rotterdam, Netherlands on August 30, 1852. Out of a family of seven children Jacobus was the third child. As a student of a private school, he was interested in nature, science, and mathematics. In 1869 he attended Delft Polytechnic Institute, and thus received his technology degree two years later. Desiring not to be a technology professor, van’t Hoff decided to focus his study on chemistry and pursue a scientific career. Against his father’s
fascination for chemistry spring from my father, who was a chemistry a graduate. He always says “ chemistry is an only science which can make things all other subjects are study”. His words had made such an impact in my mind that I adjudicated to follow my instincts and opted for the chemistry. Studying chemistry and subscription of Scientific India magazine took
Chemistry There are five main braches of chemistry: Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Biochemistry. Organic chemistry and Inorganic chemistry are self-explanatory, as organic chemistry is concerned with the chemistry side of carbon and living things, and inorganic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the interaction between and structure in inorganic compounds. Meanwhile, Analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry involved
Section Assessment Page 11 1. Chemistry affects all aspects of life and most natural events because living and nonliving things are made of matter. 2. Five traditional areas of study are organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry and physical chemistry. 3. Pure research can lead directly to an application, but an application can exist before research is done to explain how it works. 4. Chemistry can be useful in explaining the natural world, preparing people for
felt thrilled in pursuing scientific research, when I learned about critical aspect of materials chemistry in the elucidation of nanoparticles for drug delivery systems in organic chemistry with Prof. Sunasee. Since then, I host a passion for academic and research traing designed to prepare me for graduate studies in the development of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies for healthcare. My primary research interests are in the fields of nanotechnology and materials chemistry for drug therapy and cancer
an attempt to synthesize ammonium cyanate. It is considered the starting point of modern organic chemistry. Wohler wanted to prove, contrary to scientific thinking of the time, that a product of the living processes of animals could be made in the laboratory from inorganic materials. The synthesis was almost an accident, as Wohler had been trying to make another compound, ammonium cyanate, to continue a study of cyanates he had been working on for the previous few years. When he added silver cyanate
have always loved doing backyard experiments myself and observing the reaction that occurs. To me, Chemical Engineering is the most intriguing branch of engineering because it involves how to make the world a better place for us to live in through scientific mediums. Chemical Engineering will allow me to explore what is unknown to the world, and make something valuable as well as nature-friendly out of substances that people have not yet used. I want to find ways on how to solve current problems such
