Research Groups
Research within the Department of Materials can usually be divided according to research group, each group being led by one or more senior academic staff. Note however that due to the interdisciplinary nature of many areas of research it is sometimes difficult to decide under which research group a particular research project may lie.
Many research groups have their own webpages which are separate from the department website. Links to research group webpages are arranged alphabetically below.
