Instrumentation The department has significantly upgraded its mass spectrometric instrumentation with the acquisition of the following systems: (1) A Kratos laser desorption time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer with linear and reflectron modes, (2) A Shimadzu gas chromatograph mass spectrometer with both electron-impact and electron ionization, and (3) A Thermoquest/Finnegan electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS), fitted with a liquid chromatograph and with the capability for multiple mass spectral analyses. These instruments compliment our VG 70S high-resolution GC-mass spectrometer, which is capable of FAB, DCI, EI, and CI spectrometry. The department also maintains a Bruker EMX 10 /2.7 EPR spectrometer (X band and low temperature) In addition to computers and workstations dispersed throughout all the individual research groups, a dedicated computer lab is housed in Remsen Hall, with access available to all students, staff, and faculty. Many of the faculty research laboratories have purchased or constructed highly specialized instrumentation tailored to their specific research objectives. These include the following: several molecular beam apparatus, negative ion photoelectron spectrometers, ultra-high vacuum surface analysis chambers with Auger electron and X-ray photoelectron spectrometers, an atomic-force microscope, a time-resolved infrared spectrometer, numerous laser systems (Nd:YAG, excimer, dye, optical parametric oscillator, argon ion), a phase fluorimeter, a fluorescence microscope, and nanophase material generators.

Useful Information Student Activities As Johns Hopkins University’s main campus, the Homewood Campus provides students with an environment that successfully balances academics and extracurricular activities. A strong Student Activities Office oversees and advises over 160 student groups representing students involved in cultural, religious, recreation, sports, government, and special interests. Homewood is home to the JHU Graduate Representative Organization (GRO). This graduate student group won the 2001 National Association of Graduate- Professional Students (NAGPS) award for Outstanding National Graduate Student Organization. In addition to the various student organizations, the campus hosts other notable events, such as symposia featuring well-known speakers, various cultural and sporting activities, and the annual Johns Hopkins Spring Fair. This popular attraction is the largest student run fair in the country with 150,000 visitors over the course of three days. Two new enhancements to campus life are the new Mattin Center for Student Arts and Activities, and a state-of-the-art Athletic Recreation Center. The Mattin Center offers a substantial home for student groups and organizations, while providing a direct connection to the area’s cultural arts, such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, which is located adjacent to the center. The new Athletic Recreation Center is a 63,000 square foot facility housing a fully equipped gymnasium for students, faculty and staff. After Graduation Many of our students do postdoctoral work, and have won prestigious postdoctoral fellowships from the Sloan Foundation, American Cancer Society, NIH, and the National Research Council. In the last few years they have gone on to Universities such as Yale, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, the University of Chicago, and Harvard, national laboratories such as the NIH, NIST, the Air Force Hanscom Laboratory, and Brookhaven, or research laboratories at companies such as DuPont, Merck, and SmithKline Beecham. Some go abroad for further study; former students are currently in England, Japan, and Switzerland. Alumni of the department are scattered across the country and around the world in academic, government, and industrial positions. In the last few years, our graduates have taken faculty positions at the University of Illinois, University of California at Riverside, Ohio State University, Harvard University, Bryn Mawr College, Hood College, and many other colleges and universities. Recent graduates are now working for a number of pharmaceutical and chemical companies (Upjohn, Pfizer, Hoechst-Roussel, Glaxo, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, Dow, Allied, 3M, Enichem Americas, Hoechst-Celanese, to name a few). As a regular part of our colloquium schedule, we invite former students back to describe their work and meet with graduate students. Housing Near the university there is a wide selection of living quarters. Many graduate students, single and married, take advantage of the affordable apartment buildings adjacent to the Homewood campus. Most of the apartments in the immediate vicinity are within easy walking distance (< 0.5 miles) of the chemistry buildings. Additional single rooms and apartments are generally available in areas readily accessible by car or bus. The University maintains a housing office to help students find suitable accommodations (Housing Office, 3339 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, 410-516-7960). The Chemistry department also has an informal system in place to aide students in finding suitable housing. 26 Graduate Study in Chemistry at The Johns Hopkins University
