Degradable and sustainable polymers in the Environment
The influence of plastic pollution on our environment has been well documented, however, there remains a knowledge gap between relating to how new polymers and plastics might biodegrade. Read more
High-throughput solid state synthesis of functional inorganic materials for net zero applications
The discovery of new functional materials to drive technologies for the net zero transition, such as batteries, solar absorbers, rare-earth-free magnets for wind power and a myriad of other unmet needs, is a scientific and societal grand challenge. Read more
Stereoselective synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules for sensing and catalysis
Background – the stereoselective synthesis of mechanically chiral molecules. The stereoselective synthesis of chiral organic molecules is one of the core challenges in synthetic organic chemistry. Read more
Mechanochemistry and the mechanical bond – sustainable methods for the synthesis of functional rotaxanes and catenanes
Background. Molecules are mechanically bonded if they are composed of two covalent subcomponents that are threaded through one another such that they can never separate even though there is no covalent bond between them. Read more
Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks Using Rotaxane-based Ligands.
The PhD project will focus on the preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) using rotaxane-based ligands. In particular, the project will demonstrate how rotaxane motion affects the adsorption of guest molecules in MOFs. Read more
Non-thermal plasma as a chemical reagent: elucidating mechanism and exploring NTP for pharmaceutically relevant electroreductive reactions
Chemistry depends on electrons, but we cannot yet fully control electrons to deliver precise reactivity. Controlled high-energy electron sources—such as non-thermal plasma (NTP)—could unlock new and selective chemical transformations, but little is known about these states of matter when mixed with reaction media.

Nanomedicines Prepared using Polymerization Induced Self-Assembly (PISA)
Background. Recent advances in polymer particle design have largely relied on developments in controlled/living or reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP). Read more
