研究领域

A primary objective of our research is the understanding of natural phenomena and the translation of concepts from nature into the laboratory (bio-mimicry) to develop new metal complexes and inorganic materials for a diverse variety of applications that include solar energy conversion, therapeutics and biosensors. We apply organic and inorganic synthetic methods to develop metal complexes and inorganic materials with novel properties and function in combination with multiple experimental techniques to examine in detail their structure, spectroscopy and reactivity. Our research covers both fundamental and applied research projects, and is multi-disciplinary in nature, combining chemistry with aspects of biology, biochemistry, medical science, (nano)materials science and engineering, environmental science, earth science and physics.
