Senior Assistant Professorat the University of Bologna since october 2022, his research activity covers the development of innovative materials for energy and photonic applications. In particular, he is interested in the development of advanced hybrid metal halide perovskite semiconductors.Currently he focuses on the study of their self-assembling properties at supramoleular level and the correlation of structure-property relationship for the development of advanced, functional low-dimensional systems with enhanced luminescence and charge transport properties.
