Collaborations and partnerships

Our research group collaborate with world-leading research groups and work closely with industry. The pricipal investigator has worked extensively as lead researcher on various projects funded by governments including Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (UK), National Natural Science Fundation of China, European Research Council, Qatar National Research Fund, and industry sponsors including Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical. We are keen to establish new collaborations and form partnerships with industry to solve practical technological challenges and nurture the next generation researchers.
