This research investigates how the structure of comb polymers influences their ability to stabilize materials in applications ranging from fragrances and food products to wastewater treatment and drug delivery. By systematically modifying polymer architecture, the study identifies design rules that enable more effective, affordable, and targeted performance across diverse industrial and medical uses.

This research applies large language models to decode and design proteins by treating amino acid sequences as biological languages. By identifying hidden structural and functional patterns across massive protein datasets, the work enables creation of novel proteins for medicine, cancer therapy, carbon capture, and environmental remediation beyond naturally evolved biological systems.

This research focuses on the total synthesis of natural products, biologically important molecules produced by nature. Using pedrolide, an anticancer compound, as a case study, the work applies strategic molecular “deconstruction” to identify simple building blocks and develop laboratory methods for assembling complex natural molecules through innovative organic chemistry.

This research develops improved catalysts that convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into sustainable fuel. By analysing how molecular design affects reaction efficiency, selectivity, and durability, the work creates strategies to accelerate the chemical process and prevent breakdown. The findings support large-scale renewable energy storage and help integrate clean fuels into future energy systems.
