Functional materials
Functional materials possess particular native properties and functions of their own, such as magnetism or piezoelectricity. This interdisciplinary field centred across the departments of Materials, Chemistry and Physics, aims to understand, characterise and synthesise these materials to harness their properties for solutions in areas ranging from energy, healthcare, electronics, and catalysis. Oxford has strengths in thin films, nanomaterials and materials for energy storage.
Climate
The world’s changing climate and the threats and opportunities it affords, are one of the biggest issues facing society today. At Oxford more than 170 scientists from across the University are rising to the challenge and seek to understand what is causing climate change, what are the impacts, and what we can do about it.
AI and data science
Oxford is at the frontier of the AI revolution, with world leading research not only into the mechanisms of AI, but also the applications and implications of AI.
Energy and the zero-carbon economy
Oxford is well-placed to lead a whole-systems approach to climate change, given our broad profile in the area of energy research, with over 180 senior researchers addressing major technical, societal, economic and policy issues.
Food security and biodiversity
As the world around us is changing, we urgently need to assess the impact of global temperature and sea level increases, extreme weather events and threats to biodiversity.
Physical sciences underpinning health
