Research Interest
Photonics for Life
The multiscale investigation of the optical and electronic properties of organic and nanostructured materials reveals new features that find ground breaking applications into efficient large area plastic solar cells, low consumption light emitting devices and self organising neuronal processors.
• We investigate direct conversion of light energy into electricity from arrays of nano-antennas
• We develop photovoltaic solar cells incorporating semiconducting polymers coupled to carbon nanotubes and metal oxides nano-particles
• We develop light emitting structures using functionalised metal nano-particles
• We develop self-organising photo-chromic materials and nanomotors
