About the LCN
|
Located in the London neighbourhoods of Bloomsbury and South Kensington, the LCN is a new UK-based multi-disciplinary research centre, purpose-built to enable work at the forefront of science and technology. The LCN brings together two of the world's leading institutions, namely University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London, with strong capabilities in the underlying disciplines - engineering, physical sciences and biomedicine - which are bridged by nanotechnology. Our aim is to provide the nanoscience and nanotechnology needed to solve major problems in information processing, health care, and energy and environment.
The LCN is led by Professors Gabriel Aeppli (UCL) and Neil Alford (Imperial). For more information on the academic staff of the LCN, please check the LCN Directory. |
