Our group is interested in two things: 1) Uncovering the fundamental structural science behind what gives materials the properties that they exhibit and 2) using this information to make new materials with emergent properties.  We strive to accomplish both of these interests through creative thinking coupled with rigorous study of fundamental science. Many of our students work in very collaborative projects, both within the Particle and Catalysis Research Group, across campus, Australia and beyond.  We focus quite a bit on catalysis, but we don’t mind playing in other areas as well.
