Marszewski NanoResearch Group
We specialize in the design, synthesis, and characterization of nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications. Nanomaterials have features with sizes of less than 100 nm (10,000x smaller than the width of a human hair), which often gives them better or unique properties compared with bulk materials. We are interested in developing new synthesis methods that unlock exciting opportunities in the field of nanomaterials, investigating structure-property relationships of nanomaterials, and evaluating them for energy and environmental applications. We currently focus on high-entropy oxides, mesoporous transition metal oxides, and bio-based and bio-mimetic materials.
Students enthusiastic about design, synthesis, and characterization of nanomaterials are encouraged to apply to our group.
