Chemistry

Investigating teaching, learning, assessment, student engagement and connection using reflexive practice, qualitative and quantitative approaches. Exploring science democratisation through public engagement and participation.

Our research focuses on (nano)materials, such as MOFs, ionic liquids and solids, and polymers for a wide range of applications on batteries, fuel cells, photovoltaics, gas storage and magnets.

We develop and apply tools and technologies to provide molecular interventions for infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and immunological and inflammatory disorders.

Our research includes experimental and computational work on molecular self-assembly, polymer nanoparticles and nanostructured surfaces. We address major societal challenges including sustainability and drug delivery.
