Emerging Technologies and Materials

Research group focus

Understanding the physics of materials allows us to implement them in real-world applications for the technologies of the future. Our research expertise includes:

Integrating new materials in smart and sustainable ways, using our expertise in material design, synthesis and production
Researching photonic materials and technologies to control and tailor light-matter interactions at will
Using calculations from first principles, density functional theory, Monte Carlo simulations and transformation electromagnetics to model materials and complex systems

We aim to:

Inform society
Attract the next generation of talented researchers and students
Transform the landscape of emerging technologies and materials

Through collaboration, we can push the boundaries of technological developments that have a positive impact on society, the academic world and the economy.

We work with academics on research projects in physical science, engineering, biomedical applications and many more.
