Max Fontus
Doctoral student
Research Group: The Orotoleva Group
My decision to join IU was based on financial support, the family-like atmosphere, the positive attitude and caliber of the professoriate. Though I transferred to the Chemistry department from Mathematics, I can attest to the desire and will of the department to ensure the success of all its students. My research area is Theoretical Physical Chemistry and my focus is on the computer modeling of bioelectricity and its effects on metabolism and other cell functions.

Graduate Programs
Our department provides outstanding opportunities for advanced study in numerous fields of chemistry. The research faculty are involved in cutting edge research, standing at the forefront of the research community, pioneering the way for students to leave-degree in hand- well prepared for careers in government, industrial research, and research and teaching positions in the academic field.
Our highly skilled professional staff is dedicated to providing and managing the department's state-of -the-art equipment and computer resources, with departmentally staffed instrument, electronics and glass shops.
Exposure to graduate research begins in the first semester of study with the C500 Introduction to Research course. Our alternative mechanism for introducing the new graduate student to research is what distinguishes Indiana University from other chemistry graduate programs.
The 'C500' experience allows you to test your abilities and interests, and you will get first hand knowledge of your chosen research group, as well as an introduction to the department's instrumentation, facilities, and services. At the end of the spring semester of your first year, you may choose to continue working in the same research group, or you may decide to conduct the remainder of your graduate research career under a different mentor.
