Research topics
We conduct research on the optical and spectroscopic properties of nanostructures, nanoparticles, and nanomaterials, as well as their interactions with molecules and chemical compounds. Our goal is to understand the mechanisms governing the processes occurring in these nanosystems, which will enable their wide application in modern technologies. To this end, we apply and refine spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, especially those allowing for ultra-sensitive detection and identification at the single-molecule level. Our studies on the optical, electronic, and structural properties of materials and their components allow for a deeper understanding of how the structure and composition of optically active nanoassemblies affect their functionality and potential applications as photoactive materials, used in ultra-sensitive optical detection, photoelectronics, and photochemistry.
