This project is ideal for Honours/Master students interested in the cutting-edge field of 3D printing and sustainable chemistry. You will gain valuable skills and experience in both areas, which will prepare you for a career in materials science, chemistry, or related fields.

This project will develop these materials for biological applications, for example as an artificial skin (below).

This project designs and synthesises AFE materials to enable high-power energy devices. By studying how chemical substitutions affect crystal structure and electrical properties, it aims to optimise energy storage and fast-response performance.

This project enhances the usability of MOFs by developing porous composite films to improve handling, stability, and regeneration compared to raw powders, advancing applications in catalysis, purification, and drug delivery.

We are offering both computational and experimental projects in this field, focusing their research on (1) catalyst design and assembly, and (2) optimization and restoration of hydrogen carriers (related to organic synthesis).

The project will involve training in the use of highly reactive, air-sensitive reagents which require handling under strict anaerobic conditions. X-ray crystallography and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy are the common characterisation techniques that will be used on a daily basis.
