​
Our multi-disciplinary research is built off chemical, crystal, and spatial structuring of materials.
​
2D, carbons, polymers, triboelectricity and ferroelectrics.
​
Control of structure on the atomic-, nano-, micro-, meso-, and macro- scales lets us build devices for energy, environmental, and tissue engineering applications, and address key challenges facing Australian and Global Industries
