Contents

As per by law 15 of the Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, the College of Chemical Sciences was established to conduct all the educational and training activities of the institute. A statutory committee known as the academic board of the College of Chemical Sciences is appointed annually to promote, conduct and co-ordinate all the education, training and academic affairs of the College of Chemical Sciences. all the formal educational programmes are the immediate responsibility of this board, which is headed by the chairman and includes 14 members, a deputy chairman, a secretary for educational affairs, and an assistant secretary. Additionally, the president of the institute, one of the honorary joint secretaries of the institute, the chairman of the Admissions & Ethical Practices Committee of the institute, and the institute's honorary treasurer are ex officio members of the academic board.

The chief executive officer of the board is the dean appointed by the council. Full-time academic staff members and teaching assistants constitute the academic staff, while the administrative staff is headed by the registrar of the college. An assistant librarian is in charge of the library. A number of other full-time non academic staff comprise the balance staff. A number of visiting academics and teaching assistants drawn from universities, research institutes, and service organisations and well as the private sector carry out the day-to-day teaching activities of the college.

Ilan Marek is a bi-national French-Israeli chemist. He is particularly interested in the design and development of new stereo- and enantioselective strategies for the creation of several contiguous stereogenic centres and by the functionalization of organic molecules at the least reactive position. These processes are carried out in a single chemical step and lead to the synthesis of complex molecular structures. Understanding reaction mechanisms provides insight into the origins of stereoselectivity and governs optimization for the development of the most effective and general methodologies possible.
