Our research areas include biological chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical & theoretical chemistry.
Below we list current research topics in the Research School of Chemistry with links to relevant researchers and groups. We have a wide range of potential chemistry research projects, ranging from short-term summer research projects to year-long honours and graduate projects to three-year PhD projects. Please contact the listed project supervisor for further discussion and ideas.
Research in the RSC is supported by excellent infrastructure and facilities, each managed and supported by a dedicated technical staff, and an in-house electrical and mechanical workshop. The school hosts three large-scale, campus wide facilities, providing service support and training to both internal and external users and three embedded facilities built around key strategic strengths of the school.
The RSC, and ANU more broadly, are committed to supporting commercialization of intellectual property to fostering Australia’s innovation economy. Our multidisciplinary research activities drive our cross-campus engagement in a number of university wide projects.
