Professor Ross Forgan FÂ鶹AV
For me, good research culture is about making our entire academic system more equitable and ensuring a supportive, fair, and collegial environment for all where all contributions are recognised and celebrated.
Professor Forgan’s team researches metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), solid materials with holes so small they can only be measured in nanometres. They can be thought of as 'nanosponges', capable of soaking up significant quantities of molecules such as gases (to capture carbon dioxide, for example) and drug molecules. His team examines their fundamental physical properties in the hope that they can be applied in green energy applications. They are also developing and studying tiny MOFs to establish how they interact with living things (like human cells), potentially making the treatment of cancer more effective.
