Message from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Auburn University.

Our department is built on a simple but powerful idea: discovery and education are inseparable. The same faculty who lead innovative research programs in chemical biology, materials science, catalysis, computation and analytical chemistry are deeply engaged in teaching and mentoring the next generation of scientists.

We are proud of our long-standing commitment to excellence in undergraduate instruction and our growing research enterprise. Our graduate programs continue to expand in scope and impact, offering students close mentorship, access to advanced instrumentation and opportunities to collaborate across disciplines.

Whether you are exploring chemistry for the first time, preparing for professional school or seeking advanced research training, you will find a community dedicated to your success.

We invite you to learn more about our programs, meet our faculty and discover how Auburn Chemistry can help you achieve your goals.

War Eagle,
