Mohammad Omary, associate professor of chemistry and Arup Neogi, professor of physics,
were featured during the 10 p.m. newscast Nov. 13 on CBS11. The broadcast explains their research with
nanoparticles and medical applications. The professors are developing light-activated nano devices that could
be implanted in cancer patients to deliver targeted treatment.
Both are members of UNT's new Bio/Nano Photonics research cluster, a collaboration of 15 faculty
members across nine departments. (posted 12/9/08)
Three undergraduate research students in computational chemistry - Matt Amme (Cundari Group), Kevin Holmes and
Jeremy Lai (both of the Wilson Group) - have been named regional semi-finalists in the Siemen's
competition. (posted 10/27/08)
Drs. Angela Wilson and Tom Cundari are part of a team of UNT
researchers that will receive a $6.36M contract from the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory

NSF-REU SUMMER PROGRAM:
ANNOUNCING OUR NSF-REU PROGRAM FOR SUMMER 2009
Deadline for applications is March 2, 2009; although earlier applications are encouraged!
The Department of Chemistry offers undergraduate and graduate
programs in the following areas: Bachelor of Arts with
a major in Chemistry; Bachelor of Arts in
Chemistry with Teaching Certification; Bachelor of Science in
Chemistry; BS in Chemistry with a Concentration in Forensic Science
Master
of Science and Doctor of Philosophy with
a major in chemistry; and concentrations at the graduate level in analytical
chemistry, chemistry education, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry,
physical chemistry, and industrial chemistry (M.Sc. only). Students may also
focus their research in the areas of computational and materials chemistry.
Recipients of the BS in Chemistry, and in some cases the BA and
BA with Teaching Certification, are certified by the American
Chemical Society (ACS) as meeting requirements for professional training
of chemists. Courses required for ACS certification may be obtained from
the Chair of the Undergraduate Affairs Committee.
 At the graduate level, student stipends, including teaching assistantships
and research fellowships, are available from a variety of sources. Further information may be obtained from the
Chair of the Graduate Affairs Committee. Other scholarships may be
available.
The Department has an active chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma. The
Beta Eta Chapter of AXE is very active by performing Chemical
Shows, selling goggles for lab classes, organic model kit sales,
hosting mixers, hosting an annual chili cook-off, and is active with other AXE
chapters in the area.
