About us
We are a dynamic and international research team based in the “Yusuf Hamied” Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. Our laboratory creates novel ideas and concepts, assembles innovative prototype devices and develops emerging technologies for the solar-powered conversion of waste, water and air into sustainable fuels and chemicals. A long-standing strength of our team is commitment to collaborative and cross-disciplinary science, with chemists, physicists, materials and nano-scientists, chemical biologists, synthetic biologists, engineers and entrepreneurs working together in our laboratory. We currently focus on solar-powered technologies for the upcycling of plastic and biomass waste, and the valorisation of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Our aim is to produce green fuels and chemicals and ultimately enable solar circular chemical industries.
