Highlights | 2016
Turning water into fuel
Our researchers are developing a nanostructured
system to convert water into hydrogen and other
short-chain carbon fuels with the aid of solar
irradiation – or simply, sunlight. This energy is
100% renewable and can potentially provide
affordable and clean energy needed to transform
the planet.

Postgraduate Prospectus 2018
This project uses waste products to produce
a sustainable alternative to cement. The new
material is stronger, more heat resistant and above
all, significantly lower in carbon emissions. Our
researchers are amongst the consortium of seven
partners in a UK-Malaysia Innovation Bridge driving
this research.
Smart technology for the aging
Think of a smartphone interface which replaces
the need for multiple hand-held controllers for
different devices. This technology from our
researchers presents users with easy and
ubiquitous access to electronic appliances, enabling
active and independent living for older adults.
