Chair's Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Maryland. The Department integrates the Biological Sciences with the Physical Sciences and Engineering in research and teaching. As the principal home for biophysics and biochemistry on campus, the department is the link to biology and bioengineering. As molecules are the basis for nanoscience, the department is an essential unit in the development of nanostructured materials and in the rise of nano-bio-science and technology on campus.

People in the Spotlight

Sang Bok Lee

Dr. Sangbok Lee is an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, MD. He received his BS in Chemistry and MS in physical chemistry (surface science and spectroscopy) and PhD in physical organic chemistry (molecular recognition) from Seoul National University, Korea. After finishing his PhD, he worked at a DRAM maker, LG Semicon (Hynix), for two years as senior research engineer and held a postdoctoral position at the University of Florida, before joining UMD in 2002. His research interests include ultrafast electrochromics, supercapacitor, and solar cell device based on the electrochemical synthesis of nanotube structure, magnetic nanotubes for targeted drug delivery, shape-coded nanotubes for dispersible biosensor, and molecular transport, wetting, and diffusion properties of nanotubes and nanotube membranes.
