Welcome! We are delighted to announce the hiring of Dr. Maxime Siegler as the new X-Ray Crystallographer for the Department of Chemistry. Dr. Siegler received his Ph.D. from The University of Kentucky under Dr. Carolyn Brock, and comes to us from the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research in the Netherlands, where his research focused on small molecule x-ray crystallography, polymorphism, solid-state phase transitions, high-Z’ structures, disorder, and twinning. In addition to his arrival, we are also pleased to announce the creation of a new website for the Chemistry Department’s X-Ray Facility.
Welcome! We are very pleased to announce the hiring of Dr. Tyrel M. McQueen as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry. Dr. McQueen will also hold a 
joint appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Tyrel received his Ph.D. from Princeton University under Robert Cava and is currently completing his postdoctoral studies with Daniel Nocera at MIT. Tyrel’s research interests lie in the general area of solid state chemistry with an emphasis on the development of new materials with unique properties, including superconductors, thermoelectrics, and photovoltaics. His research is very interdisciplinary, requiring expertise in both chemistry (to devise synthetic strategies) and condensed matter physics (to characterize the materials and their properties).
Chemistry-Biology Interface Program
The Department of Chemistry participates in the Chemistry Biology Interface (CBI) Program. This Ph.D. program brings together faculty preceptors throughout Johns Hopkins University to train graduate students at the interface of the chemical and biological sciences.
Students interested in this program can apply directly to the CBI Program.
