Meet the team

The Institute for Materials Research (imo-imomec), based at the Hasselt University campus in Diepenbeek, has built a vast expertise in the field of materials science since its foundation in 1990. Our team is strongly multidisciplinary: chemists, physicists, and engineers are working together to develop the material systems of tomorrow. Anno 2022, imo-imomec can rely on more than 5000 m² of state-of-the-art lab infrastructure, divided over four different locations.

Our research focusses on five domains: energy conversion, energy storage, sustainable materials, (bio)sensing and quantum technologies. More information on our research activities, research projects, and key laboratory equipment can be found below.
