Understanding matter at the nanoscale is opening up an entirely new world of knowledge. We are applying our research using innovative methods to solve challenges through:

• synthesis of nanomaterials, nanocomposites, nanotubes, nanowires, nanoparticles and carbon-based materials
• advanced physical and chemical characterisation of materials and the development of new characterisation technology and methods
• engineering materials for energy conversion and storage, sensors, biomedical application, tissue process, imaging, light emitting, sustainable manufacturing and environmentally safe chemical process.

We bring together academic staff, post-doctoral research fellows and postgraduate students from across the University who have expertise in relevant disciplines such as: advanced materials, chemical engineering, physics, aerospace mechanical and mechatronic engineering, chemistry, and bio-engineering.
