The research interest of this group focuses on:

• Synthesis of nanopowders using hydrothermal, coprecipitation and sol-gel synthesis techniques, including their morphological, textural and structural characterization.
• Consolidation of nanopowders into dense nanostructured materials and characterization of their physical properties (mechanical, optical, electrical…).
• Precise characterization of the materials\’ structure using advanced X-ray diffraction techniques and synchrotron light.
• Theoretical investigation of excited state photophysical and photochemical processes and charge transfer and transport processes in novel materials
