Meet the Team
To achieve this ambitious project, we have brought together a cross-disciplinary team of 10 post-doctoral researchers, a project manager and nine lead investigators, spread across the Universities of Sheffield, Bristol and Exeter.
Their combined expertise spans synthetic biology, photosynthesis, synthetic chemistry, nanotechnology, polymer science, plasmonics, molecular physics and theory.
