Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Organic Chemistry, Synthesis, Catalysis

We develop environmentally sustainable approaches to chemical manufacture that minimise chemical waste, improve product velocity and reduce the need to isolate intermediates.

Smart Electronic Materials and Systems

Our interests range from nano-scale biological sensors to complete sensor systems.
