Chemical physics is an interdisciplinary subject that cuts across two major fields of physical science.
From the fundamental physics of individual atoms and molecules to soft and hard condensed matter physics. From dealing with matter from the molecules of life to the latest technological materials.
A modern chemical physicist is equipped with the tools to make significant contributions to a sustainable, secure and healthy future for the coming generations, through the development of:
