Materials and Molecular Design research involves the development and optimisation of molecules and advanced materials for a wide range of applications including pharmaceuticals, catalysts, self-healing, advanced electronics, biomaterials, electrical insulation, nanocomposites, energy storage and generation. This is achieved through advances in synthesis and growth, characterisation and theoretical modelling.
The coordinator for this theme is Prof. Nic Harrison. For general enquiries about this theme please contact him at nicholas.harrison@imperial.ac.uk or feel free to contact any members of the theme listed below for more specific enquiries.
