Sun Research Group
We are an interdisciplinary group in nanoporous materials and impact mechanics:
Nanoporous Materials & Mechanics Laboratory

Welcome
Welcome to our group webpage!
We are an interdisciplinary group working at the boundary of engineering (mechanics), chemistry (MOFs), and physics (nanofluidics). Our current research focuses on the mechanical energy absorption of nanoporous materials.
Based at the University of Birmingham, we are equipped with outstanding lab facilities from chemical synthesis and material processing to mechanical testing.
We are keen to collaborate with people from different backgrounds, please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in our work!​
Join us!
We like to hear from potental candidates for PhD, Postdoc, and undergraduate internship.
​Get in touch by 06 May 2025 for the competitive PhD studentship currently available: FindAPhD
