We have an expanding team of researchers at the forefront of their fields, and an extensive array of new instrumentation and equipment to support our research activities, which have direct applications across the chemical industry and a variety of sectors.
Chemistry staff can provide businesses with consultancy and advice to address specific technical problems, and collaborative research projects can be developed through discussion with our research staff facilitated by the Business Partnerships and Enterprise team.
Each of our research themes is populated with an expanding team of research-active staff at the forefront of research in their respective fields. Our interests span many areas of both fundamental and technological interest. Importantly, we share not only common ground in research excellence, but an inclusive and collaborative spirit, and a dedication to passing on our knowledge to a new generation of researchers.
Impact of all forms is an integral part of our research activity, and we aim to amalgamate the very best in chemical research with industrial partnerships to address real-world problems and generate solutions to societal grand challenges.
