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
Fields 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
Project links
Main positions of trust
- member of the university Science Council
- member of the faculty doctoral program steering committees
- member of journal editoral boards: Nanomaterials, Materials, International Journal of Photoenergy
- member of of international scientific organizations: European Photochemistry Association (EPA); International Society of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines (ICPP, national representative); Electrochemical Society (ECS)
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
