Our research covers a broad range of topics, including the development of hybrid solar cells that surpass the performance of traditional silicon-based technologies in both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We are also pioneering new catalysts and fuel cells for green energy production, as well as creating polymer thermoelectric materials for energy harvesting. These efforts are grounded in core materials science principles and advanced characterisation techniques, allowing for a comprehensive study of material properties and behaviours. By fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, the department not only drives scientific innovation but also shapes the future workforce, training materials scientists and engineers equipped to tackle sustainability challenges ahead.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/mse\/staff\/wong-andrew-barnabas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/mse\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/bb-plugin\/cache\/andrew-square-b3e5cfec68ac0d0635b7d65c39723fa0-.jpg\" alt=\"andrew\" height=\"372\" width=\"372\" title=\"andrew\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/mse\/staff\/wong-andrew-barnabas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrew B.
