Chemical Physics Specialist Chemical Physics can be characterized as the quest to lay bare the underlying basic explanations of the structure and dynamics of molecular and bulk-matter systems, in terms of the interactions of atoms and molecules. The subject matter covers vast territory, including: • Explaining the behavior of polymers, fluids and solids, self-assembly of complex systems. • Dynamics of simple and complex systems. • Study of biophysical systems: enzyme catalysis, protein structure and dynamics, molecular motors, energy transduction, packing of DNA. • Properties of nanoscale systems. • Molecular collisions and scattering theory, coherent quantum processes, non-linear chemical dynamics, chemical processes at surfaces. • The quantum structure of molecules, photochemistry, heterogeneous kinetics and reaction dynamics. • Interactions of light and matter, control of chemical processes, new laser technologies
Chemical Physics Specialist Why study chemical physics? Because it is fun! Example: Building new laser systems. Possible career options: 1. Academia. 2. Government research labs. 3. Industrial research labs. • Photonics & laser industry • Pure research • Drug design in pharmaceutical industry 4. Scientific software developer.
Materials Science Specialist A Collaborative Program between the Faculty of Arts & Science and the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering Materials science is the study of the structure, properties, and applications of all types of materials including metals, ceramics, glasses and polymers. Examples of materials with advanced properties: • • • amorphous metals liquid crystals semiconductors nanostructured materials photonic crystals high critical temperature superconductors • • biomaterials high strength polymers composite materials polymers for tissue engineering • materials for drug delivery
Materials Science Specialist Materials science is an interdisciplinary program drawing on the basic sciences of chemistry, physics, polymers, metallurgy and ceramics. The tools of investigation of material structure include • electron microscopy • x-ray diffraction • Auger emission spectroscopy • x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy • FT-IR spectroscopy • Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy • Confocal Fluorescent Microscopy
Synthetic and Catalytic Chemistry Specialist Broad coverage in core areas of chemistry in 1 st and 2 nd Years plus introductory courses in mathematics, physics and biochemistry. 3 rd and 4 th Year course requirements focussed on the areas of synthesis and catalysis in organic and inorganic chemistry. Suitable for professional work in chemistry and for entry into graduate school.
Synthetic and Catalytic Chemistry Specialist • Catalysis is revolutionizing the science, technology and art of chemical synthesis. • Modern synthetic methods allow for the formation of many classes of molecules, in a manner that quite simply would not have been possible twenty, or even ten, years ago. For example, newly approved pharmaceuticals are not only being increasingly synthesized in bulk using catalytic reactions, but their discovery is often facilitated using catalysis at the earliest stages of the research and development programs. • These advances represent a mere fraction of the possibilities for innovation and discovery in this field that will surely emerge in the future.
Synthetic and Catalytic Chemistry Specialist Career opportunities This program is quite distinct from the other Chemistry Specialist programs. The required courses provide students with a laboratory intensive learning experience, and include a requirement for upper level independent research. Such synthetically trained students are in high demand in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, crop protection, materials and related discovery intensive sectors. For example, the training obtained in the area of synthesis and catalysis is considered to be the ideal preparation for entry into medicinal and process chemistry departments in pharma/biotech companies.
Environmental Chemistry Specialist What is it? Issues? How? Study of chemical changes in the environment arising from humankind’s activities Air pollution, climate change, organic pollutants, soil contamination, water quality Analysis of contaminant levels (analytical) Kinetics and mechanism studies (physical, organic)
Environmental Chemistry Specialist With whom? Toxicologists, atmospheric scientists, oceanographers, geologists, ecologists, statisticians, epidemiologists, … Where? In the lab Everywhere else – e. g. the Arctic, Lake Ontario, Environment Canada field stations, … Afterwards?

Selecting 2 nd Year Chemistry Courses § The second-year courses introduce the students to their chosen field of studies in biological, physical, organic, inorganic materials and analytical chemistry. § The 2 nd year courses are in the 4 areas of studies, namely, Analytical, Physical, Organic, and Inorganic, as the table in the next slide shows. So depending on which program you signed up on, the table guides you which 2 nd year chemistry to take. § In reality, it is only in the areas of Physical chemistry and Organic chemistry, where you may have a choice, although we strongly recommend the more appropriate course. l l (CHM 222 H-recommended or CHM 220 H) + CHM 223 H CHM 249 H (strongly recommended) or CHM 247 H § How you do in your 2 nd year courses determine how strongly prepared you will be in your 3 rd year courses, especially when most of the courses require minimum mark of 63%.

Why CHM 249 H rather than CHM 247 H? l An enhanced experience over CHM 247 H – smaller lectures, more laboratory time, smaller lab demo groups, better experiments… l CHM 247 H designed for students who will (likely) take no more organic or other chemistry course 28
