Master of Science [M.S] [Chemical Physics] From Kent State University

Program faculty and students conduct research in Kent State's Liquid Crystals Institute in liquid crystal synthesis and molecular design, liquid crystal materials and properties, lyotropic liquid crystals and bio-related materials, optoelectronics, and nanoscience and nanotechnologies. These important research foci are inherently interdisciplinary.

Graduates of this program will be able to:

• Develop an advanced understanding of the fundamental science of liquid crystals and ability to apply acquired knowledge of physical and chemical properties of liquid crystals in achieving development of liquid crystal materials and devices.
• Gain experience in presenting scientific data in research publications, articles, posters and oral presentations.
• Apply acquired knowledge to the development of new liquid crystal materials, new theories and effects, and liquid crystal based devices.
