Activities

We employ solution-processed functional nanomaterials to address current challenges in optoelectronics, imaging, sensing and renewable energies.

We take advances in nanoscience and we transform them into nanotechnology for solving real-world problems that current technology cannot address or do so at an affordable cost for the benefit of the society. We follow a bottom-up approach engineering the properties of the materials from the atomic level, to the suprananocrystalline level and all the way up to device engineering. We are doing so by assembling a group of physicists, chemists and engineers to tackle interdisciplinary problems. Our focus lies on novel functional nanomaterials, nanostructures and devices for photodetection, light emission and renewable energies.
