The group performs research in the field of:
- modern functional optical materials,
- design of biosensors and fluorimetric sensors,
- plasmonically induced enhanced fluorescence,
- optically active core-shell nanoparticles
- high-performance luminescent materials of potential importance as molecular converters of solar energy into electricity, scintillators or photovoltaic materials,
- hybrid optical materials, their influence on radiative and non-radiative processes in luminescence centers and processes of transport, trapping and conversion of excitation energy,
- large macromolecules of biological importance, proteins, peptides, pharmaceuticals – conformations, dynamics, interactions,
- Energy and charge transport in special systems. Modeling and Monte-Carlo simulations.
Experimental techniques involve UV-Vis spectroscopy, sensitive measurements of luminescence charateristics like quantum yield, emission anisotropy, mean fluorescence lifetime, a set of time-resolved spectroscopy methods in ps, ns and longer time domains. Especially designed sensitive setup for surface plasmon coupled emission measurements.
