mechanical
reactivity of solids
Our group aims to understand how mechanical force can be used to influence the behaviour and reactivity of solids, with particular interest in material dynamics. We have a wide range of interests in this area, spanning mechanochemical synthesis, mechanically responsive materials, and material design. We run an interdisciplinary research programme that spans both computational chemistry and experiment.
