Welcome
Welcome to Prof Michael De Volder's research group webpage. Our activities focus on the development of technologies to structure advanced materials into well defined superstructures. At the micro and nanoscale, we seek to understand fundamentally how controlling material structure impacts device performance and on the macro scale how these advanced structures can be manufactured at scale. One main application we are focusing on, is the development of better batteries to fight climate change and energy poverty. In addition, the processes and material architectures developed by our research group also apply to sensors, photonic materials, thermal management systems and water filtration. In our work we make extensive use of lithography, microfluidics and roll-to-roll processing.
