WELCOME

Creating a sustainable materials economy through valorisation of societal waste and design of circular polymeric materials is one of humanity’s most significant challenges in the 21st century. A fundamental rethink of society’s material supply chains, design and production is necessary to reduce the overall carbon footprint of polymeric materials production. To work towards these ambitious goals, our group is broadly interested in developing newer and more sustainable routes to produce functional materials and societally-relevant chemicals, such as from societal waste. To better optimize material performance and reduce unnecessary wastage of material, we also strive towards understanding how their components interact with each other non-covalently on a molecular scale.
