Program - Environmental Science
The challenge of balancing economic expansion, social progress, and environmental conservation is recognized as a critical global issue. Our research group aims to deepen the understanding of environmental processes and phenomena by integrating insights from various disciplines.
Our team investigates the effects of chemicals on the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere, and their implications for the environment and human health. Environmental research plays a prominent role, significantly influencing decisions that impact the broader population. The Department of Chemistry conducts interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research to equip students with specialized research skills. This research is designed to deliver societal benefits and is scalable for industrial applications. Several publications from the department offer practical applications relevant to everyday life, bridging academia with industry and society.
