Main research and technological activities

We are dedicated to advancing the understanding of nanomaterials through cutting-edge electron microscopy and related spectroscopy techniques.

Our research focuses on unraveling the structure–property relationships in nanomaterials designed for physical applications, including photonics, plasmonics, phononics, electronics, spintronics and quantum technologies.

To push the boundaries of materials characterization, we integrate AI-based methodologies, such as deep learning and machine learning, enabling advanced and automated data analysis at unprecedented scales.

We also explore the behavior of nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications, aiming to understand their dynamics down to the atomic level. Our group develops in-situ and correlative approaches that combine electron microscopy, synchrotron techniques, and artificial intelligence (AI) to provide holistic insights into material performance and evolution.
