Postgraduate research

Our research has been long established in the exciting area of Heterogeneous Catalysis and Surface Science.

We are working to address the big challenges now facing science, including:

the provision of clean water by controlling and destroying pollutants
protecting the atmosphere
using existing resources more efficiently
developing low- and zero-carbon fuels
enabling sustainable food production

We work closely with industry to ensure that the catalytic solutions that we discover or invent will be scaled-up and developed into commercial technologies.
