Who We Are

This Programme Grant assembles an internationally-leading research team to develop the concept of Nanoscale Advanced Materials Engineering (NAME). Expertise from across disciplines, Technical Specialists, and a cohort of talented early career researchers who are future leaders in advanced materials, make this team well positioned to realise NAME’s research goals and impact.

Investigators

Collectively, our team of Investigators have delivered research programmes in excess of £185M and published >1800 papers, including 57 Nature/Science Group publications. Their record of pioneering research has been recognised by the awarding of 28 medals/prizes by professional bodies including the IOM3, Institute of Physics, Royal Academy of Engineering and Royal Society.
