Energy & The Environment
Our research in Energy and the Environment is focused on developing breakthrough materials that support a more sustainable, low-carbon future. From advancing clean energy technologies and circular material systems to innovating green chemistry and catalysis, we are driving the transition toward environmentally responsible solutions. Our interdisciplinary work also explores next-generation perovskite solar cells and fire-resilient materials for sustainable urban infrastructure — addressing both global energy demands and climate resilience through materials innovation.
