Professor Aron Walsh aims to push the limits of what's possible in materials modelling Two Imperial academics have won European Research Council grants to accelerate their ground-breaking research into materials and chemical engineering. ERC Advanced Grants - worth up to ¤2.5million each - are designed to support excellent scientists with a recognised track record of research achievements. President of the ERC Professor Maria Leptin said: "By following their scientific curiosity, these senior researchers are pushing the frontiers of our knowledge in a wide range of fields. It's essential to fund this type of cutting-edge research to keep Europe at the scientific forefront." Supercharging Metal-Organic Frameworks. Semiconducting materials are the building blocks of modern electronics. They are often based on rigid inorganic crystals or disordered organic polymers. Professor Aron Walsh , from the Department of Materials, aims to tackle a new class of compounds that offer the potential for higher flexibility and performance.
