Global fossil fuel energy crisis highlights the urgency of renewable energy development such as abundant solar energy. Our research is focused on the synthesis and understanding of novel functional semiconductor materials, which can convert solar energy into other forms of energy, e.g., electricity (photovoltaics) and solar fuels (hydrogen evolution), achieving a sustainable development mode. Our

Our research is focused on understanding crystal growth on an atomic scale, and how control of this process can be used to design new materials not existing in nature. In particular we are interested in understanding the formation of novel nanostructures, and how the dynamics of the crystallization process lead to new and size-dependent properties. At the moment our focus is on semiconductor nanos

The Edler group research focuses on understanding the formation of functional hierarchically structured materials in order to apply that understanding to make new materials. We use self-assembly, driven by interactions between nanoscopic species (micelles, nanoparticles, polymers) in solution and at interfaces to form materials with organized structures from nm to cm. Understanding interactions be

Chemical synthesisThe Strand Group specialises in the synthesis of complex molecules. Broadly, our research program involves both developing methods for chemical synthesis and the use of organic synthesis to develop molecular solutions to  problems of significance in catalysis, biology, medicine, and material science. The common denominator in our projects is a mechanistic perspective that underli

The focus of our research efforts is efficiency in organic synthesis and various aspects of this can be readily identified. For example, the yield of a given reaction, its environmental friendliness and cost efficiency, if it can be converted into a catalytic process or, alternatively, into an asymmetric one are all important issues that have to be considered when choosing a suitable reaction for
