Collaborating research institutes, centres and groups

Electrochemistry

A well-established world-class group researching energy charge transfer that affects many facets of life.

Nanophotonics Group

We perform fundamental optical physics and materials research. This is critical for the discovery and development of new and improved optoelectronic technologies.

Quantum, Light and Matter Group

Our research group examines the connections between physics, chemistry and engineering.
