Welcome to the Yeung research group at the School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham. We perform scientific research into the crystallisation of advanced materials and their structures and properties, using state of the art experiments in our laboratory and central scientific facilities.
News
For group events, our recent papers, public engagement and all the other things we do, check out our latest news.
Research
We use state-of-the-art scientific experiments to understand how complex materials form, how their building blocks are arranged, and how they respond to external influences. In this way, we build the knowledge required to design materials with new and improved functions for applications such as energy storage, computing and sensing. Read more…
Team
We are always happy to welcome motivated, enthusiastic people to join our team. We are LGBTQ+ friendly and aspire to work in an inclusive way, mixing critical and creative thinking with experiments at the lab bench. Projects cover a range of topics and techniques, so if you are interested in joining us, please contact Hamish for discussions prior to making an application. For more information about the group, and if you’re interested in joining us, read more…
