Professor Ian Metcalfe examines the ceramic material that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power stations.

In Swan we believe that recognising and supporting the diversity of research is vital to finding a solution to the energy problems facing the world today.

As an interdisciplinary research centre, Swan brings together researchers from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds to:

  • deliver holistic, cutting-edge research;
  • develop understanding;
  • find new ways of meeting the growing energy needs in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way.

The Swan Centre's research is focussed around four main research themes.

There are also three research groups physically based within the Swan Centre in the Devonshire Building.
