Nanoscale Energy & Surface Engineering Group
Lab tour
As the leader of this group, I’d like to welcome you to our website, interact with members of our group and discuss your technical, outreach and consultancy interests with us. Our research is socially oriented, technologically transformational and has a direct impact on society.
Our laboratory is involved in the research of advanced nanomaterials with these specific application areas:
-
alternative energy,
-
multifunctional nanocomposites,
-
additive manufacturing
-
wastewater treatment
Our research focuses on materials science and engineering of technologies that will impact our society in the future, including:
-
energy generation,
-
energy storage,
-
recycling of lithium ion batteries,
Flexible displays, flexible coatings, and wastewater treatment are some of the areas we’ve successfully applied these technologies in. With both internal and external collaborations we take a multi-disciplinary approach to the goal of developing functional nanomaterials and surface engineering them for a wide variety of impactful applications.
Our group is committed to changing the world through discoveries and development of new materials and technologies that will have direct impact on society. Our efforts begin where the igniting and imaginative mind meets the experienced. We are excited about what future technology can offer societal wellbeing, and aspire to being leading players in this endeavour, becoming missionaries of science in our lifetime.
We want to ignite the young minds to make science, technology and engineering their way of life.
Thank you for visiting us.
