Track Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry

Designing and making molecules with high specificity is a key competence in chemistry. Engineers with a solid molecular background play a prominent role in developing and improving chemical systems ranging from novel catalysts to biomedical materials. These engineers work at the frontiers of science, learning the rules that govern chemical self-assembly and applying them to new areas like organic solar cells and responsive materials.  

In the Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry (MSMC) track, you learn to use the tools of catalysis, inorganic, (bio-)organic and physical chemistry to contribute to a healthier and more sustainable society. 
Research within this cluster focuses on the design and synthesis of complex molecules, macro- and supramolecular assemblies, and functional materials with a wide range of applications in the fields of energy, health, and electronics. 

Drawing on this wide research expertise, within the track MSMC you can specialize in one of the following areas:
 
•    Bio-inspired and multiscale materials 
•    Bio-organic chemistry 
•    Functional organic materials and devices 
•    Macro-organic chemistry 
•    Materials and interface chemistry 
•    Molecular materials and nanosystems 
•    Physical chemistry 
•    Supramolecular chemistry
