Through the use of Computer Aided Materials Science (CAMS) and high-throughput (HT) automation we aim to develop new approaches to materials science, re-thinking potential applications and bringing it into the 21st Century. The potential that new, and at scale, aggregations of automation, control and cognitive computing can offer is limitless.
Our Chemistry Department, achieved 2nd place in the 2014 Research Excellent Framework.
Research activity includes Organic Materials (academic lead Andy Cooper), Inorganic Materials (Matthew Rosseinsky), Nanomedicines (Andrew Owen, Steve Rannard), Sustainability (Jose Lopez-Sanchez), Genomic Sequencing (Christiane Hertz-Fowler), and High Throughput Formulation/Automation.
The Materials Innovation Factory will house the Leverhulme Research Centre for Functional Materials Design, created to drive a design revolution for functional materials at the atomic scale. The prestigious award from the Leverhulme Trust will help to bridge the current design gap by fusing leading-edge synthesis concepts from the physical sciences with ideas from the forefront of computer science, alongside experts in robotics, engineering, management and social science.
