This department is part of a new University of Cambridge MPhil Programme which will deliver training related to the development of new materials for the transition to a low-carbon society.
The MPhil Programme in Advanced Materials for the Energy Transition is an eleven-month Master Programme that is designed to deliver outstanding postgraduate level training in the sciences related to the development of new materials for low-carbon energy technologies.
Global warming and energy challenges are putting strong constraints on our society and will lead to major economic and societal changes in the future. To overcome these challenges and promote a sustainable modern society, it is necessary to develop new technologies with minimum environmental impact for example with low energy consumption and low carbon production.
The development of these energy-materials-based new technologies necessitates an interdisciplinary expertise in scientific and technological domains such as Physics, Chemistry, and Materials Science. This interdisciplinary training is necessary to understand and model new materials properties, find ways to synthesize them, and develop new zero-carbon energy technologies.
Goal
Our goal is to provide the toolsets necessary to understand, develop, and deploy the next generation of energy-efficient materials-based technologies to replace fossil fuels.
