We have a strong research profile in industrial filtration and the biological and medical aspects of aerosols.
- Filtration: the behaviour of porous media in the filtration of liquid aerosols from gas streams and the development of membranes for the production of hydrogen from coal.
- Nanotechnology: the production of nano-oxides by metal combustion and investigation of their applications in clean power generation; and the synthesis and study of mono-disperse nano-particles with unique magnetic properties for industrial and medical applications
- Bioterrorism: development of technologies for the rapid detection of pathogenic airborne microorganisms.
