Interest

My main research interest is the photophysics of spin processes in organic molecules and materials. I combine magnetic and optical spectroscopies to address a variety of open challenges, including solar energy conversion in organic photovoltaics and the comprehension of the subtle connection between spin, chirality, and light for quantum information science.
