Professor Geoff Moggridge
About Us
The Structured Materials group is headed by Prof Geoff Moggridge. He has a long standing interest in chemical product design and this is reflected in many of the projects undertaken by the group.
The overarching link between the diverse range of projects within the Structured Materials group is the production or utilization of microstructures for particular applications.
We believe that adequate funding for energy transition research is crucial. Our Department is committed to the University’s goal of maximizing our contribution towards achieving a resilient and sustainable zero-carbon world. We actively pursue this goal through the development of technologies, materials, and processes that enable a rapid and efficient shift away from fossil fuel based energy production and consumption. We do not conduct any research in our Department on technologies for the extraction or production of fossil fuels.
Research
Current research projects include the development of an improved prosthetic heart valve utilising the anisotropic mechanical properties of oriented block co-polymers.
