Research
Professor Roberts’s research group is involved in the development of advanced catalysts and ceramic nanomaterials for renewable energy systems, chemical manufacturing and environmental engineering. More recent work has investigated magnetic nanomaterials for bioimaging, ceramic nanofillers for composite materials and the application of supercritical and high pressure fluids for precision cleaning.
