Research Groups
Processable electronics research is intrinsically inter-disciplinary. Imperial's Centre of Excellence in Processable Electronics comprises around 30 individual research groups, across the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Materials, Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering. Each group is led by an individual academic. Use the links below to find out more about the academics and their research.
Academics are also listed under the CPE's Research Themes area.
