Research

His research interest focuses on the synthesis of conjugated organic materials at the interface between molecules and polymers. We are interested in the synthesis of low-dimensional materials based on polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons and their self-assembly into hybrid nanostructures, the design and synthesis of electron deficient organic semiconductors and of NIR absorbing and emitting materials for electronic and energy applications.
