Technology development requires novel materials with better properties. We, the materials scientists in our group, are in the phase of developing new materials for future technologies. Our new materials and components laboratory is currently developing 3D-printed titanium-based synthetic bones for orthopaedic applications and TiO₂-based nano photocatalysts for hydrogen generation by solar water splitting. It includes fabrication, analysis and experimentation of materials. We have also been involved in the prediction of new materials by machine learning approaches.
