The Center for Chemical Sensor Development (CCSD) and the Chemical
Imaging Center (CIC) are Research, Development, Education and
Training centralized facilities that operate as part of the
Department of Chemistry of the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM).
Main thrust areas of research and education are include small-print
to nanoscale chemical sensors, although a wide variety of other
chemical and physical sensing modalities and of source-target
distances that range from microscopic distances to meters are
accommodated within the CCSD umbrella. At the base of the CCSD
structure is our goal of providing our main customers: undergraduate
and graduate students with the best education and training so that
may become skilled scientists and engineers. Cooperation with the
twin Research and Education Center at the Department of Chemistry:
the Chemical Imaging Center of UPRM is fostered through
collaborative projects in which students and professors from both
centers participate. Collaborations with island wide scientists and
with national and international colleagues are also sponsored.
