​Computer Facilities and Support

The department maintains a computer laboratory that houses 13 new (summer of 2009) dual-processor, power McIntosh computers. Resident on these computers is a wide-range of software for molecular-level calculations, mathematical computation, data analysis and presentation, spectral analysis, and manuscript preparation. Chemistry and Biochemistry majors are issued keys to this room that affords them 24-7 access. The department is supported by experts from our Information Technology division and the Science Computer Support Specialist from the College of Letters and Science. Two of the department's faculty members have recently collaborated to purchase a high-powered computer cluster for performing advanced calculations on inorganic, organic, and biomolecules.
