Research

We design porous materials and develop membrane technologies to tackle pressing challenges in energy and the environment.

Research overview

1. Designing Porous Materials

We start with a question: What should this material do? Guided by function, we design and synthesise porous materials with just the right features for specific tasks.

2. Building Better Membranes

The structure of the materials shapes membrane performance. We develop membranes at all scales and explore how structural features influence membrane properties and behaviour.

3. Solving Real-World Problems

We engineer membranes for real-world use! Our goal is to deliver sustainable solutions for clean energy and environmental challenges using these smart materials.
