Each of our themes has a team of research-active staff, each at the forefront of research in their respective fields.
Our interests span many areas of both fundamental and technological interest. We share common ground in research excellence and an inclusive and collaborative spirit. We harbour a dedication to passing on our knowledge to a new generation of researchers.
Research Impact of all forms is an integral part of our research activity. We aim to mix the very best in chemical research with industrial partnerships to address real-world problems and generate solutions to Grand Challenges.
Chemistry-related research also takes place in other departments across the university, including work in the Lancaster Environment Centre, Engineering and Physics departments. This research covers areas such as Condensed matter, Environmental Science or Nuclear chemistry.
Physical and analytical chemistry at Lancaster encompasses the characterisation of chemical structures, mechanisms and properties. This is applied to a wide range of systems including catalysts, energy materials, biomolecules and polymers.
