Plasmonics, Nanocrystals, Quantum dots, Nanophotonics, Photochemistry, Spectroscopy, Nanofabrication

Research interests

Plasmonics
Photochemistry
Strongl light-matter coupling (polariton satets) 

Quantum Batteries

Research Activities
• Plasmonics for photochemistry: We create metal nanostructures that harvest sunlight for applications in synthetic chemistry.
• Strongly-coupled systems: We create artificial structures where light and matter become hybridised. These structures consists of a material enclosed in an optical cavity.
