Overview Ph.D. Program

The Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) has a vibrant, world-renowned program that offers students the opportunity to perform cutting-edge research with our internationally recognized faculty.

BGSU is located in Bowling Green, Ohio, and is in the scenic Great Lakes region of the United States. It houses the Center for Photochemical Sciences, a research center that focuses on interactions of light with matter. Some highlights of our research focus include:

  • Molecular Photochemistry and Photophysics of Novel Chromophores
  • Single-Molecule Spectroscopy and Imaging
  • Hybrid Metal-Organic Photonic Materials
  • Organic Semiconductors, Electroluminescence, and Sensory Materials
  • Solar Energy Capture, Conversion and Catalysis
  • Biophotonics
  • Computational Mechanistic Photochemistry
  • Photopolymers and Photopolymerization

This is an exciting time to join the BGSU Chemistry team. We have recently added new faculty in optical spectroscopy, materials chemistry, computational chemistry, and single-molecule spectroscopy and biophysics. The Center for Photochemical Sciences at BGSU has been instrumental in contributing to the fundamental development of photo-driven chemical processes and in addressing critical environmental and energy problems over the last two decades, receiving worldwide recognition and high regards.
