Microplastics in wastewater get concentrated into sewage sludge. When this is spread on fields as fertilizer, the microplastics enter the environment. Could we remove them using microbes and enzymes? Read our briefing paper here
We facilitate transdisciplinary research. By combining molecular science with engineering design, we can tackle problems that are otherwise unsolvable.
We transform education. We train STEM graduates or professionals to work at the interface of science and engineering. Prepare to work on “real-life” cross-disciplinary challenges through a combination of taught modules and a research project in collaboration with an industrial partner.
We translate research into practice. We work closely with industry partners to tackle real world questions, and deliver briefing papers for policy impact.
Qilei Song won seed funding from IMSE early in his career. Find out how this interdisciplinary backing contributed to establishing him as a research group leader in nanoporous materials.
