Harnessing Light to Control Function

Smart Photonic Materials (SPM) research team works at the interface between chemistry, physics, and materials engineering. We are interested in developing functional and stimuli-responsive materials based on polymers and liquid crystals, with particular focus on light-controllable systems. Our activities are centered around functional supramolecular systems and soft-matter photonics. For further information, see the Projects page. Also, check out our Publications!

For more information on our research activities and inquiries after vacant positions, please contact Arri Priimägi. To meet the rest of the team, click here.

In 2025 we organize 2 conferences:
6th ERC Grantees Conference
International Liquid Crystal Elastomer Conference – ILCEC2025
