研究领域

Current research covers aspects of clean technology which are directed towards the major challenges facing humanity in the 21st Century - in being able to gain accessto complex functional molecules and materials for tackling energy, health andenvironmental issues. This includes: (i) The use of patented thin film microfluidics in controlling chemical reactivity and selectivity in organic and inorganic synthesis, controlling self assemble processes from small molecules to viruses, controlling kinetic versus thermodynamic metal organic frameworks (MOFs), controlling 'top down' and 'bottom up' synthesis of nano-materials, and fabricating single cell algal-graphene hybrid material for waste water treatment. (ii) Solar cell technology based on the frustules of single cell diatoms. (iii) Utilisation of biomass in developing processes and products without generating waste. (iv) Applications of the compounds and materials in (i) - (iii), for example in device technology, drug delivery and drug development, and waste water treatment
