The breadth of the research gives entry into numerous related chemical phenomena and applications, such as electrocatalysis, chemical sensors, long distance electron transfers, and polymer design and dynamics, and the need for use of a variety of related analytical methods. My student colleagues consequently have diverse learning experiences. I consider them adventuresome explorers and inventors of new forms of measurement science.

The laboratory has graduated 85 students with Ph.D. or Master's degrees and has had 62 post-doctoral colleagues pass through its benches and hoods. Murray is particularly proud that all of the laboratory's members have found good employment, in a variety of industries and government laboratories, and that 45 are or once were in the teaching profession. A notable number of undergraduate researchers have also gone on to achieve prominence in chemistry.
