About me

I am Professor of Physical Chemistry since 2008. My specialization is light matter interaction, and photoinduced phenomena in compex molecular and supramolecular systems, semiconductor nanostructures, and nano-hybrids. I am leader of Photonics Compounds and Nanomaterials Team (research.tuni.fi/photomat).

Responsibilities

• teaching, master and doctor work supervision, photochemistry related courses
• research, team and projects leading
• member of the university Science Council and faculty doctor program steering group

Field of expertise

• optical spectroscopy, including ultrafast laser spectroscopy
• photochemistry and photophysics of molecular systems, nanostructures and hybrids
• photoinduced phenomena, e.g. charge separation, energy transfer, etc.
• primary photoreactions in solar cells and photocatalysis

Research topics

• primary photoinduced reactions in solar cells, such all-organic and perovskite solar cells
• light initialization of photocatalytic reactions, e.g. water splitting
• photoinduced reactions at interface, such as semiconductor-organic interface
• quantum dots (QD) and QD-organic molecule hybrids

About me

I am an Early Stage researcher working as part of the SOLAR2CHEM MSCA ITN at Tampere University, Finland. I utilize time resolved laser spectroscopy (from the femtosecond to microsecond scale) as a tool to unlock the mechanisms of functionalized and/or doped carbon-based materials (graphitic carbon and carbon nitride) for applications in photocatalysis and photo(electro)catalysis. Thus, promoting the development and implementation of these materials in future solar energy applications in Europe and beyond.
