Nanostructured materials

Professor Sudipta Roy

Professor

"A primary guideline has been to develop sustainable electrochemical processes which are clean (minimisation of chemicals and energy), mean (inexpensive) and green (no waste), addressing many of the challenges facing human-kind today and tomorrow."
Dr Mark Haw

Senior Lecturer

"My research is focused on particles in fluids: from mud, cement, soil and pharmaceuticals to colloids, blood, proteins, bacteria and algae. I do a lot of public engagement, from talks, articles and books to interactive events."
Dr Ashleigh Fletcher

Lecturer

"Investigating a wide range of adsorption systems, I research the fundamental interactions driving such processes in both the liquid and gas phase; impacting on gas separation/storage sectors and the water treatment industry."
Dr Vitor Magueijo

Teaching Associate

"My research focuses on material science related topics. I am particularly interested in the production of composite materials with enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical strength and the study of green alternative solvents for the production of polymer membranes. And the photo attached."

Process development & monitoring

Professor Jan Sefcik

Head of Department

"Our expertise is in particle engineering and nanostructured systems. We investigate structure formation at nanoscale in order to design novel materials, such as gels and organic crystals, as well as efficient processes for their manufacture."
Dr Yi-Chieh Chen

Chancellor's Fellow

"We develop innovative analytical instrument for process measurement and monitoring. Our industrial-oriented research environment can facilitate prospective partners and researchers, nurturing novel ideas to deliver impacts on chemical process sector."
Dr Jun Li

Lecturer

"My research focuses on the development and optimisation of biomass thermal processes, and energy saving and environmental protection in energy and power sectors; contributing to the supply of sustainable biomass energy and building a low carbon society."
Dr Iain Burns

Lecturer

"My research involves the development and application of optical techniques for the characterisation of reacting flows. We use light sources ranging from compact diode lasers and LEDs to high-power pulsed lasers."
Dr Esther Ventura-Medina

Senior Lecturer

"My main two areas of research are firstly Skill development and eLearning in Engineering Education and secondly the use of Froth Flotation as a sustainable separation method in minerals, oil and water applications."
Dr Chris Price

EPSRC Manufacturing Fellow

"The aim of my EPSRC Manufacturing Fellowship is to transform industrial crystallization by actively removing impurities from growing crystal surfaces by using ultrasound to achieve higher purity, increase yield and reduce processing time."
Dr Simon Shilton

Senior Lecturer

"The Membrane Research Group exploits fabrication/nano-structure/property relationships to optimise materials/composites manufacture eg rheological tuning has resulted in hollow fibre membranes with super-selectivity to gases. There is a wide project range."
