Sponsors


We have made a point of seeking collaborations with both government and industry, for we recognize the importance of the interdependence among us. Especially important has been the educational value passed along by the supporting agency. 

Goverment representatives have visited our campus to speak directly with the students they support, a most worthy endeavor, for students become aware of the large value of their research.

Industrial sponsors likewise pass along much to the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral associates who make up our research group. Their visits to Gainesville, as well as our visits to the sponsoring company's laboratories are part of our regular pattern.

Universities - both in the USA as well as abroad- have helped us immensely over the years. We have sent students to these labs for short stays (several days) or extended periods (as many as 18 months) to become familiar with techniques and specific areas of chemistry.
