Activity: 
Scientific interest and expertise are in the field of materials science focussing on the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured semiconductors and polymer nanocomposites for optoelectronics, photonics and sensing. In particular the main topics are - Silicon nanowire for plasmonic, Raman, electrochemical biosensensing/diagnostic and as live cell interface (2010-present); - Si, III-V and II-VI compound semiconductors based nano-structures fabricated by bottom-up approaches for opto-electronics, photocatalytic, photovoltaics (1994-2010); - Composite polymers for chemical sensing (1999-2008); - Design and fabrication of dielectric multi-layered structures for optical coatings and photonic crystals (1994-2000).
