Research
Chemistry research activity is focused within three broad themes; Physical and Analytical Chemistry, Synthetic Chemistry, and Biophysical Chemistry. In addition there are many cross theme activities and two research centers have been established - Energy Materials Laboratory and Centre for Metalloprotein Spectroscopy and Biology - which draw members from across the faculty.
Chemistry research at UEA is vigorous and successful. In the 2008 research assessment exercise all of our research was rated as at least internationally recognised, with much rated world leading or internationally excellent. Since January 2001 more than £18.4M has been spent on research activities from Research Council, EU, charitable and industrial sources. At the same time the number of faculty has increased from 21 to 28, with major appointments in nanoscience and synthetic chemistry. Collectively the total current (2009) research grant holding is £13 million. The School has typically around 40 postdoctoral research assistants and 60-70 postgraduate students. Details on our research activity can be found in the links below.
