Research

Programs built around the places where materials fail.

Our research targets the interfaces, thin films and composite systems that determine whether an advanced material survives its duty cycle. We combine bench chemistry with machine learning to find formulations that are both possible to make and worth making.

Research areas

01

Interface engineering

Adhesion, wetting and interphase design for bonded, coated and filled systems. We focus on how loads, moisture and temperature move across the boundary between materials.

02

Conductive thin films

Solution-processed and vapour-deposited films where sheet resistance, optical clarity and mechanical stability must coexist over long service lifetimes.

03

Thermal composites

Filled matrices that move heat without sacrificing dielectric strength or processability. Through-plane conduction, coefficient matching and fatigue resistance are treated together.

04

AI-guided discovery

Generative models propose candidates, physics-based filters constrain them, and human scientists decide which formulations are worth bench validation.

Collaborate

Open to research partnerships.

We are looking for academic collaborators, visiting researchers and co-development partners who want to push interface-dominated materials problems forward. If your work touches adhesion, transport properties, or AI-guided formulation, we would like to hear from you.
