My research interests lie wherever light can be utilized to convert energy, transform matter or achieve function. More specifically, I have been involved in such topics as
design and characterization of organic semiconductors and chromophores and their applications
optical and atomic force microscopy
photon upconversion based on triplet-triplet annihilation or triplet fusion in solution and solid state
photopolymerization and its application in 3D printing
photoswitching or photoisomerization of azobenzenes
photocleavage
I am very happy to be a part of the Nienhaus group to develop new organic semiconductor materials and new microscopy tools to investigate their photophysics at the microscopic level.
So far in my career I have had the privilege to work and collaborate with many research groups around the world (in no particular order):
Vinogradov lab, University of Pennsylvania, USA
Materials for Spectral Conversion group, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
Smart Photonic Materials team, Tampere University, Finland
Photonic Compounds and Nanomaterials team, Tampere University, Finland
Chemical Microsystems lab, University of Helsinki, Finland
Ayitou lab, University of Illinois Chicago, USA
Laboratory of Molecular Engineering and Nanomedicine, University of Hong Kong, China
Herges group, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Germany
Crespi Lab, Uppsala University, Sweden
