RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research focuses on the two-photon absorption process and its applications in the biological field. This includes the design and synthesis of novel two-photon chromophores, as well as their characterization and application. Presently, I am concentrating on the “4for2” project, which involves studying the combination of two-photon chromophores with molecular photoswitches.
