Materials Science Research Centre Publications

Last updated 13 November 2025

This page lists selected publications by members of the Materials Science Research Centre team. These publications embody our STEAM methodological approaches, which involve learning principles or theories from science disciplines and applying them through a design lens, in order to oscillate between designerly and scientific modes of inquiry, either working on our own, or in collaboration with science disciplines.
