Schmid College of Science and Technology’s doctoral program in Computational and Data Science (CADS) has landed once again on TechGuide’s list of best data science Ph.D. programs. Christine O’Connell, assistant professor of biological sciences, has won a National Science Foundation RAPID grant to study heavy metals in urban soils following the recent fires in Los
As climate change accelerates, finding effective solutions that deliver outsized impact becomes increasingly crucial. New research led by Richelle Tanner, assistant professor of environmental science and policy, shows that a tiny marine mollusk native to the U.S. West Coast may hold the key to more effective coastal restoration. The study, “Variation in thermal tolerance plasticity
Chapman researchers found that 40% of America’s most popular seafoods are mislabeled. Why should we care?

A new study led by Schmid College of Science and Technology’s Nicholas Hebdon and Lindsay Waldrop, published in the journal Science
As the year draws to an end, a number of Schmid College faculty have been recognized on global lists of highly cited researchers. Dean Michael Ibba, Professors Yakir Aharanov, Daniel Alpay, Justin Dressel, Joshua Fisher, Gregory Goldsmith, John Howell, Andrew Jordan, Matt Leifer, Ramesh Singh and Gennady Verkhivker, and Presidential Fellow John (Jack) Horner are
It’s almost flu season, and one popular herbal supplement for immune support is ginseng. But what if your supplement contains undeclared ingredients? Ginseng products are vulnerable to fraud, with cheaper plant materials substituted for genuine ingredients, posing risks to consumer health and safety. However, effective methods for identifying adulteration and fraud in ginseng products have
Elena Skender ‘25 and Sophia Wallace ‘24 are featured in a Spectrum News 1 story about a research study they carried out with classmates in their plant biology laboratory class this past spring. Working in collaboration with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy, the students studied the thermal limits of common native plant species in Southern California.
The Office of Research announced the following research grants awarded to Chapman University faculty in July and August 2024.
