An overview of our recent works:
-
Cultural Heritage:
Applications of spectroscopic techniques (EPR, Raman, UV-Vis, and more) to the analysis of cultural heritage materials (paper, frescoes, paintings, clay …).
-
Metal Centers in Proteins:
Exploration of the ligand environment of metal cofactors in proteins -typically Cu(II), Fe(III), Mn(II)- in normal and pathological states.
-
Nanoclusters:
Characterization of nanoclusters of Gold or other metals for singlet oxygen production in photodynamic therapy or other applications.
-
Organic and organometallic dyes:
Studies of the excited state photophysics of chromophores in solution and in solid matrices with a focus on triplet states and radical pairs.
-
Photosynthesis:
Characterisation of the photophysics of chlorophylls, bacterial reaction centers, and other systems involved in the process of photosynthesis.
-
Photovoltaic Materials:
Characterization of the excited state photophysics of polymeric materials and perovskites used for photovoltaics.
Quantification of Photophysical Processes in All-Polymer Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells
-
Proteins via Site-directed Spin Labeling:
Studies of the conformation and dynamics of proteins coupling EPR to site-directed spin labelling.
-
Pulsed Dipolar Spectroscopy:
Method development for the measurement of intra- and intermolecular distances on the nanometric scale.
Orientation-Selective and Frequency-Correlated Light-Induced Pulsed Dipolar Spectroscopy
