This project will transform commodity polymers used in 3D printing to control their properties for advanced applications. The student will utilise a number of techniques to synthesise and characterize the polymers to create new materials with interesting properties. Read more
Enzymes are nature’s catalysts, they perform highly specific chemical and physical functions from the generation of movement to the synthesis of DNA. Read more

Solar photovoltaics and wind currently constitutes more than 60% of global annual net new generation capacity. We are on the pivotal point of a massive revolution in favor of renewable energy sources. Read more
The profound and specific biological activity of natural products coupled with their immediately recognizable structures suggests a code within these structures that we are not as yet aware of. Read more
This project entails an analytical and experimental investigation of elemental and isotopic fractionation of chalcophile elements between minerals (sulfides and silicates) and melts and how they relate to volatile elements. Read more
Our knowledge of the melt compositions that can be produced in the Earth’s mantle is very good in the depth range up to 130km, but much more rudimentary at higher pressures because experiments have not yet been done following a close raster of realistic melting conditions. Read more
Recent analytical developments in trace element geochemistry have made it possible to accurately analyse the fractionation of germanium from silicon during partial melting of rocks and in igneous crystal fractionation series. Read more
Alkaline incipient melts produced by melting at 100-200km depth beneath continents carry dissolved H2O and CO2 into the shallower mantle where they solidify, modifying the sources of later volcanic melts. Read more
In large continental collision zones such as the Himalayas, continental crust may be pushed down to depths as great as 200–300km where the usual minerals of the continental crust are no longer stable. Read more
