We bridge knowledge gaps to enable development of sustainable technologies for clean energy, food, water and resources, improve efficiency across industry sectors ranging from digital technologies to energy and manufacturing, and a circular economy.

Our researchers are working on technological solutions, working on complex challenges across key areas such as batteries and solar panels, recycling plastics and other materials, reducing waste and emissions in manufacturing, and energy-efficient computation and communications.

Driving smarter, cleaner energy and more circular resource use is a vital step in reducing emissions, safeguarding energy security, and enabling transitions to a more just and resilient production and consumption systems. Projects that address these areas cover a wide scope from developing new materials for photovoltaics and catalysts, improving battery safety and efficiency, reducing energy use in Artificial Intelligence through new algorithms and devices, and manufacturing waste-to-resource technologies for biowaste and bioproduction.

These projects are supported by a range of novel processes and methodologies, including advanced materials, engineering biology, quantum chemistry, cheminformatics, and biomimicry.
