Our research interests concern the investigation of the excited state dynamics of organic materials through ultrafast laser spectroscopy, particularly of photoinduced charge and energy transfer processes. We are fascinated by peculiar photophysical phenomena, such as Singlet Fission, Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence and Aggregation Induced Emission, crucial for light-to-energy conversion and for the development of more efficient Organic Photovoltaics and Organic Light Emitting Diodes. Recently, we have become intrigued by quantum effects surprisingly occurring in the complex biological environment.
