Tsinghua University's predecessor, Tsinghua Academy, was founded in 19 1 1, and 19 12 was renamed Tsinghua Academy. 1928 changed its name to National Tsinghua University. 1937 after the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it moved south to Changsha and formed the National Changsha Temporary University with Peking University and Nankai University. /kloc-moved to Kunming in 0/938 and changed its name to National Southwest Associated University. /kloc-moved back to Tsinghua campus in 0/946, where there are 5 colleges and 26 departments of literature, law, science, engineering and agriculture. After the national colleges and universities were adjusted from 65438 to 0952, Tsinghua University became a multi-disciplinary industrial university.
After entering the 2 1 century, chemistry and life science, material science and information science have become increasingly close. A series of problems in the future development of China, including the effective development and utilization of resources, environmental protection and governance, social and economic sustainable development, population health and human safety, and the development and application of high-tech materials, all need the contribution of chemists.
The Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University focuses on the latest growth points of chemical development in the 265,438+0th century, such as new analytical chemistry methods in the process of environment and life, chemical problems in the process of life, action mechanism and application of enzymes, organic photoelectric materials and devices, new crystal functional materials, supramolecular self-assembly and nanostructure materials, molecular biology research of traditional Chinese medicine compounds, synthesis and performance research of conductive polymer materials, and new catalytic systems for new energy and environmental protection.
Compared with the chemistry major of the brother universities, the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University relies on the powerful engineering platform of Tsinghua University, and pays more attention to the interdisciplinary and the combination of science and engineering.
