His work was centered in the area of biophysical chemistry, particularly the studies of the structure and thermodynamics of proteins.

Schimmel is author or co-author of more than 450 scientific papers and of a widely used three volume textbook on biophysical chemistry.

His 3 vol book, biophysical chemistry, co-authored with Paul Schimmel, was an influential textbook in the 1980s and 1990s.

On the faculty at Mount Holyoke, he helped establish a world-class research program in biophysical chemistry.

There, she did her postdoctoral work in biophysical chemistry before coming to Caltech in 1986.
