威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校化学系的使命是进行世界一流的化学科学研究，同时为本科生，研究生和博士后研究人员提供最高质量的教育。我们在研究领域的领导地位包括物理，分析，无机和有机化学的传统领域，并且已迅速发展为涵盖环境化学，化学生物学，生物物理化学，软硬材料化学以及纳米技术。我们以高度互动，多样化和合宜的科学环境而感到自豪。我们对协作的重视将我们与整个校园，全国以及全球的同事联系在一起。
Measurement forms the foundation of the scientific method. Analytical chemists in our department develop novel measurement technologies in diverse fields ranging from human health to environmental science. Our Analytical Science program is ranked among the top three in the nation, according to the U.S. News & World Report.<br><br>Because modern analytical chemistry drives so many different areas of scientific inquiry, our program is closely entwined with the richly collaborative environment at UW-Madison. UW is unique in offering not only a first tier program in Analytical Chemistry, but also has first tier biological science and engineering programs, as well as a world-class medical school. We therefore develop measurement technologies in the context of cutting-edge chemical, biological, and environmental questions, often with implications for human health, through extensive collaborations across our campus.<br><br>Students in our program will typically leverage, and often innovate, capabilities across a wide range of chemical instrumentation and approaches including: chemical separations, electro- and photo-chemistry, mass spectrometry, nanomaterials, and spectroscopy. Through projects that span from developing a completely new instrument for making field measurements to those that discover novel biology about the novel coronavirus our graduates become leaders in both academia and industry.
