<b>The Chemical Physics Program at CU-Boulder offers graduate education and research in exciting
cutting-edge fields</b>:
<UL>
<LI>nanotechnology
<LI>atmospheric and environmental chemistry
<LI>Bose-Einstein condensation
<LI>laser spectroscopy
<LI>surface and materials research
<LI>state-resolved dynamics
<LI>ultra-fast processes
</UL>
</P>
<P>
<b> One of the greatest strengths of the program is the highly interdisciplinary environment in
Boulder</b>, with many world-renowned institutes located either right on campus or within
walking distance, including the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science
(CIRES), JILA (operated jointly by CU and the National Institute of Standards
and Technology), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). </P>
<P><b>Graduate students who are interested in incorporating optics into their training now have the
opportunity to participate in the innovative Optical Science and Engineering Program (OSEP)
</b>, which focuses on developing the "employable quintet" of knowledge and skills that
prospective employers identify in effective employees, namely:
<UL>
<LI>in-depth technical knowledge
<LI>problem solving in a laboratory setting
<LI>flexibility in learning and working
<LI>an ability to work in teams
<LI>clarity in both oral and written communication
</UL>
</P>
<P><B>Rankings of programs at CU-Boulder in the areas of physical chemistry; chemical physics;
and atomic, molecular, and optical physics are consistently in the top ten.
