About Us

  • Division of Natural ScienceResearch Activities

    The Division of Natural Science consists of six fields: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Biological Science and Integrated Sciences. Collectively, these fields seek to expound upon the mathematical underpinnings of how our natural world came to be. By deepening humankind’s understanding of each subject and uncovering new fields of study, we seek to generate new knowledge to give back to society.
