Supporting Shops
The department has well-staffed shops to support chemistry research, including a machine shop, an electronics shop and a glass-blowing shop. The machine shop includes a state-of-the-art numeric control (CNC) milling machine, and a machinist with over 25 years experience in fabricating a wide range of cells and other objects required by researchers. The electronics shop is staffed by four experienced technicians, who maintain and repair research instruments, design and construct novel electronic devices, perform computer support and administer departmental servers. Our professional glass-blower has over 35 years experience in repairing and fabricating scientific glass items.
