Research philosophy
We believe materials research should connect source, structure, interface, processing, and eventual use. Experiments and simulation are brought together to inform materials for environmental, biomedical, sensing, and engineering contexts.
Lab mission
From agricultural and fishery by-products to functional materials, and from microscopic behaviour to engineering use, AMPL develops more resource-aware and evidence-based material and process research.
