Research
Interests:
My
research is focused on organic-inorganic hybrid solid state materials.
It is of interdisciplinary nature comprising synthetic inorganic,
organic, and solid state chemistry. Materials' properties characterization
and optimization also involves physical chemistry, materials science,
and materials engineering. The projects are therefore directed to
students interested to these fields crossing scientific borderlines.
I believe that materials chemistry provides an excellent opportunity
to integrate fundamental and application-oriented science, which
we want to exploit.
I
am particularly interested in hierarchically ordered materials with
a well defined structure at multiple length scales ranging from
the nanometer, micrometer to the millimeter level. The development
of "bottom-up" approaches to create complexity in the material by
simplicity in synthesis using self-assembly techniques plays a central
role. The goal is to design and discover useful physical or chemical
properties deriving from the order at the different hierarchy levels,
which work synergistically together. Potential technological uses
include catalysis, sensing, separation, gas storage, chemical delivery,
and microelectronics.

domestic and international students are encouraged to apply!*
