Welcome to the Palma Research Group

We’re based in the School of Physical Science at the University of Kent, Canterbury campus. Research in our lab sits at the interface between chemistry, biology and material science focusing on the design of smart and responsive materials prepared via supramolecular approaches and inspired by biological polymers.

MScs research projects available. Join our team!
