Energy
The Energy research theme is a multi-disciplinary research team comprising physical, inorganic, organic and computational chemists collaborating within a vibrant research culture.
The group delivers high quality research from fundamental studies to real-world applications. Their research is driven by the depletion of conventional energy resources and the pressing need for sustainable alternatives and naturally has synergy with the sustainability theme and the centre for the science of materials. Working closely with physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, materials scientists, social scientists, economists and engineers, they try to find effective solutions for complex issues in the energy sector.
The department of chemistry is part of the CDT in Hydrogen which is led at Loughborough by Professor Wijayantha.
