Welcome to the home page of the Hilton group. Our research focuses on the fusion of technology with chemistry, with a view to advancing laboratory 4.0 as a concept. In our lab, you will find a diverse array of chemistry ranging from medicinal chemistry, flow chemistry, 3D printing, low-cost electronics and devices and the integration of these with Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence. Please see the video below and the pages following to find out more about the group's research.
