Professor Steve Parker Steve’s research interest is in developing and applying atom level simulation techniques to two broad classes of materials research: (i) Energy Materials and (ii) Environmental Materials. In both cases he is interested how surfaces and interfaces affect the transport of ions, molecules or heat, and thus, for example, develop more efficient thermoelectric devices or identify better materials for pollutant remediation.

Dr Dan Pantos
Dan’s main interest lies in supramolecular chemistry, trying to understand how and why molecules interact with each other, and the rules that govern self-assembly in nature. He is also interested in a challenging synthesis or a seemingly indecipherable spectrum. Dan believes that by answering these questions we will be able to produce organic materials with new properties that will ultimately lead to applications that will change everyday life.

Dr Benjamin Morgan Benjamin uses computer simulations to understand the properties of solid-state materials. His main focus is understanding the behaviours of battery materials, including solid electrolytes—crystalline materials that allow ion transport, with applications in solid-state batteries and fuel cells—and cathode materials for next-generation Li-ion batteries. His interests include developing simple mathematical and conceptual models that describe and explain complex ion-transport processes, and developing new statistical methods to accurately estimate material parameters and thermodynamic data from computer simulations.

Professor Frank Marken Frank’s research is in both the fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemistry and in particular on energy conversion, materials properties, and analysis at electrodes. Work focuses on dynamic phenomena in nano-spaces/pores driven by applied potentials.

Professor Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern
Barbara’s principal research interests fall into the three interrelated research areas of environmental, analytical and water sciences. Her group works in the area of water quality and novel technologies used to decrease contamination of water. Their interests focus on water fingerprinting to inform the state of the environment and public health using large datasets (especially in the context of urbanisation).
