Chemistry

The world-class research-active Chemistry faculty is at the forefront of addressing key issues of global and local relevance. These include faster and cheaper drug development; cleaner, sustainable and economical energy production and storage technologies; safer air and drinking water as well as manipulating nanotechnology for solving health, environment and energy related issues. These challenging goals are being achieved through a focused research on thermoelectric materials, formable and hard coatings, functionalised polymers for solar cells and fuel cells applications, organometallic catalysts, and functionalised nanomaterials for applications in disease diagnostics and treatment (drug delivery), catalysis, optics, nanoelectronics and environmental remediation. Our research activities strongly emphasise the commercial and industrial applications of materials and actively promote and participate in developing industry academia collaborative research projects.
