Research interests:

The research activities are focused on the field of condensed matter physics by investigating organic and hybrid materials for application in optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes), OFETs (organic field effect transistors), OPVs (organic photovoltaics) and biosensors. Among the materials are liquid crystals, polymers, small molecules and  organo-metallic complexes. Particular interest in nanostructuring processes, surface treatments and thermal annealing as a way to modify and control the photophysic and electrooptical properties of the materials applied to devices. Coordinator of the Laboratory of Organic Opotoelectronics and Anisotropic Systems (LOOSA)
