Ben’s research in the centre looks at controlling the self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles into optically-active structures using extremely fast temperature jumps. He is also developing a cheap, portable fluorescent liquid-based detector to detect the deadly pesticide, methyl bromide, as well as caustic chemical warfare agents.
