Enriching the human experience through materials innovation
Modern life relies on materials in technologies that impact everything from healthcare to energy. Materials science helps us understand what things are made of and how they behave, while materials engineering teaches us how to use that knowledge to create better products.
Advancements in these fields lead to innovations that tackle the most pressing challenges of our times; that's what we aim to achieve.
Resources and Electronics
Meeting future renewable energy demand is a global objective and achieving resource efficiency is one of the most challenging aspects of the clean energy transition.Quality of life
The human condition continues to improve thanks to modern medicine. Yet, a growing number of diseases and viruses pose threat to our health, highlighting the urgent need for biomedical advancements.Infrastructures
Building and transport infrastructures of both the past and the future must be more sustainable and disaster resilient. Developing superior materials and informing public policies is imperative for ensuring a safer future.Curiosity driven Research
Our mission is to explore the fundamentals of materials behaviour to bring beneficial insights to global industries
Our strong background in science and engineering helps us tackle complex problems. We like to break down scientific questions by looking for answers at their core. This approach allows us to discover new insights, create value, and design and test a variety of materials-based technologies. Our work is supported by top-notch research facilities and a wide range of expertise that combines physics, chemistry, and different fields of engineering, including mechanical, medical, and civil.
