About School of Chemistry

The chemistry discipline at Dalian University of Technology (DUT) was established in 1949 by renowned Chinese chemist Professor Zhang Dayu. With a long-standing history and distinct academic strengths, the discipline has developed into a first-level doctoral program with a postdoctoral research station. It ranks in the top 0.1% globally in the ESI (Essential Science Indicators) and was selected in the first round of China’s “Double First-Class” initiative.

Over the past seventy years, the discipline has evolved through several stages, from the Department of Basic Chemistry to the Department of Chemistry, and ultimately to the School of Chemistry, providing solid support for the advancement of chemical engineering and related fields. The School is known for its emphasis on fundamental talent development and cutting-edge research, with a focus on integrating science with engineering. It has nurtured many professionals distinguished by both theoretical foundations and applied expertise and is steadily becoming a key force in high-level talent cultivation and scientific innovation in the field of chemistry in China.

In recent years, the School of Chemistry at DUT has been committed to building a first-class discipline in China, upholding the core mission of moral education and talent development. Through strategic restructuring and optimization of its academic layout, the School places strong emphasis on cultivating high-caliber, innovative talents. Centered on the intelligent creation of new materials, the School has launched systemic innovations ranging from efficient production and utilization of clean energy to the intelligent theoretical design and precise synthesis of molecules, and from cell-level disease detection to targeted therapy. Significant progress has been made in faculty development, talent training, scientific research, social engagement, and international collaboration.
