Businesses

Our research aims to address some of the key problems that businesses face in the real world. It's applicable to a range of industries, including water, energy, oil, and technology.

Our vision is to discover new scientific data which can transform these industries, reducing costs and increasing sustainability. For our findings to be truly applicable outside the lab, we need to work alongside businesses to access actual data and run trials.

Industries

We believe that our research can change businesses.

If you work in the following industries, we'd be interested in hearing from you:

  • Water
  • Oil
  • Energy
  • Technology
  • Paint and coatings industry
  • Health and personal care

Applications

There are many potential applications for the research, including:

  • changing water treatment from net energy consumer to a net energy generator

  • designing personal care products in simulated hair follicles

  • reducing the cost of corrosion by creating corrosion-resistant pipe surfaces or discouraging the bacteria responsible for corrosion

Benefits

Getting involved in our research would:

  • allow your company to keep up with the latest innovations

  • increase your competitive advantage

  • give you access to training to build capacity in simulation or similar methodologies

  • potentially reduce costs, solve issues and allow you to license solutions

How to get involved

There are a range of ways that you can become part of the project. From taking part in progress workshops to becoming involved in trials, we're keen to hear from any businesses who think they may benefit from our research.
