My research interests lie at the interface between Organic Polymer Chemistry and Biology and much of our work involves working across-disciplines (Chemistry, Engineering and Life Sciences) to solve societal/industrial problems. My team utilises living polymerisation techniques (e.g. RDRP and ionic) and modern synthetic chemistry (such as Click chemistry) to create designed novel macromolecules and materials as new tools for chemistry and biology with particular emphasis on bioactive and bio-inspired polymers; sustainable polymers; supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly; glycopolymers and glyco-nanoparticles; giant vesicles; synthetic biology and protocells; antimicrobial and antiviral polymers; polypeptides and bioconjugation; biomaterials; bioactive hydrogels; 3D (bio)printing technologies; emulsion-templated porous polymer scaffolds; 3D cell/tissue culture, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; porous materials and membranes; supported catalysts; separation techniques, energy storage and batteries.
