Our research is at the interface between materials, biomedicine and energy; it involves the application of materials science, physical chemistry, surface thermodynamics, solid state physics, biochemistry and molecular cell biology to energy, biomedical and chemical engineering systems. At the centre are studies of the molecular self/co-assembly and interfacial phenomena in multiphase systems where nanomaterials or molecules in different states (or phases) co-exist and interact with one another. Practical applications include drug and gene delivery; lipid bilayer and cell membrane actions; energy storage and lithium batteries.
