Welcome to the Yeung research group at the School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham. We perform cross-disciplinary research into the formation and organisation of responsive materials, using state of the art experiments in our laboratory and central scientific facilities.

For group events, our recent papers, public engagement and all the other things we do, check out our latest news and follow us @YeungMaterLab.
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…
People
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, preferring critical and creative thinking over hours spent 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.
