FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE FUTURE: Bonding Science with the creation of new materials

As dominant conversations about the future become more influenced by digital environments, we forget about the impact of fundamental science on our modern technologies. Dr Erin Leitao will justify why we should invest in fundamental research, with an overview of how Chemistry has prompted multiple new discoveries and applications now used in our daily lives. She will then give us a preview of what’s possible in our future materials through her work: the development of new polymers using Earth-abundant elements that contain currently unexplored properties.

Join us for a discussion of interest to professionals in:
