Research themes

Our research spans four themes and has a strong emphasis on strengthening links between university researchers and the national facilities at Harwell.

Explore our research themes below:

Advanced materials

Research focusing on microscale strain and phase transformation for alloys.

Catalysis

Design, development and monitoring of heterogeneous catalytic systems.

Fusion

Researching materials and manufacturing techniques for nuclear fusion applications.

Mineral physics

Research into the properties of rocks and minerals at high pressure and temperature.

Molecular electronics

The study of precise control of quantum spin states and magnetism.

Resilience

Research into the safety-critical failure of materials containing high stored energy.

Subsurface energy and storage

The transition of energy supply from mainly fossil sources to low carbon energy sources.
