The Frontiers in Chemical Research Lectureship in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University is a Distinguished Lecture Series course devoted to In-depth presentations of current developments in important areas of contemporary chemistry.
In this program, the chemistry faculty selects and invites prominent chemists from all over the world to present three formal lectures that describe their most recent significant research results. In addition to the seminars, each Frontiers speaker will meet with graduate students in formal discussion sessions. The speaker would also be available for private conferences with departmental instructional and research staff. This year, the 38th of the Frontiers in Chemical Research program, five distinguished lecturers have been scheduled.
The Frontiers lectures are open to the public; the Chemistry Department welcomes all those interested.
