Our research is supported by complementary capabilities spanning computational materials design, materials synthesis, fabrication, characterization and performance testing. These facilities enable us to investigate materials and reactive interfaces from initial design through to functional performance and data-driven optimization.
We use computational approaches to explore materials, interfaces and processes and to guide experimental design. Modelling and data-driven methods help us identify promising materials, understand structure–property relationships and optimise experimental conditions.
