Activities

We have been involved in two European Commission STREP projects and many national based projects in collaboration with Italian and international laboratories

The research activity has covered the following fields.

• 3D printing of bio-structures for tissue engineering
  
  
  

• Optical sensors based on semiconductor nanostructures or functionalized metal nanoparticles
  
  
  

• Optical characterization of self-assembled photonic crystals
  
  

• Surface nano-structuring by direct lithography, UV nanoimprinting and embossing

• Optical properties of graphite and graphene layers for optoelectronic and sensing applications
  
  

• Emission and excitation spectroscopy in the UV-VIS-IR spectral range

• Nonlinear optical materials for electroptical applications (optical modulators and ultrafast switches)
  
  

• Sinthesis and electroluminescence measurements of OLED devices
