Research at the interface of materials and life

Understanding how advanced materials behave in the environment

We connect material synthesis, environmental transformation and ecotoxicological responses to support safer and more sustainable technologies.

Core themes

  • Battery cathode materials
  • Photocatalysis and perovskites
  • Soil and aquatic ecotoxicology
  • Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design
