 The
Organic Division at the University of California at Santa Barbara
offers a nice mix of cutting edge research, student mentorship,
and course-work on one of the most attractive
campuses in the USA. It’s a friendly place where
students can wander into faculty offices to ask questions. Nevertheless,
it remains a center for cutting-edge research vigorously preparing
students for future careers
in organic chemistry. Ongoing research spans all the major
 areas
of organic chemistry and encompasses a variety of topics such
as enzymatic processes, synthesis of biologically important
natural products, new asymmetric methods, novel organometallic
catalyst development and much more. Therefore, we were not surprised
to learn that the chemistry department at UCSB was recently
ranked among the top departments in the USA in the 2002 U.S.
News & World Report. Several of our graduate students
have won national awards, such as the ACS ORGANIC DIVISION
FELLOWSHIP. We aim to continue to improve our department
by recruiting the best students. Our department offers several intradepartmental awards to facilitate the research
efforts of our most outstanding undergraduate and graduate students. |
