I am a scientist invested in the development of soft materials that can respond to external stimuli and adapt to their operation conditions in smart nanotechnologies, with a particular interest in renewable energy conversion in photovoltaics. I lead the Smart Energy Materials Group as Associate Professor in Materials Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Turku in Finland since September 2024, as well as at Adolphe Merkle Institute as a Swiss National Science Foundation PRIMA Fellow and Assistant Professor at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. My research relies on a multidisciplinary approach at the interface of chemistry, physics, material science, and engineering to develop functional materials and devices. I operate within an international collaborative network of researchers worldwide, and I am dedicated to science outreach, policy, and diplomacy, supporting scientists globally.
