His current research interests mainly focus on technologies based on micro- and nanoporous silicon and nanoporous alumina for biomedical and green energy applications. The structural engineering of porous materials and the surface and interface functionalization in the micro-nanoscale regime allow to development of ultrasensitive and selective optical biosensing platforms, novel engineered drug delivery systems and micro-nano-engineered cellular microenvironments for 3D cell cultures and tissue engineering.
He is also interested in the design, fabrication and modelling of nanostructured organic and hybrid materials for photonic and optoelectronic devices such as photovoltaic solar cells, detectors, and sensors.
