We work at the interface of Organic Chemistry, Nanoscience and Soft Materials, with the aim of developing interactive microsystems and materials with life-like properties. Our research efforts also aim to engineer pathways of out-of-equilibrium self-assembly pathways with programmable lifetimes and to design synthetic cellular entities that mimic some of the life-determining processes of living cells.
Research Areas: Systems Chemistry, Soft Nanomaterials, Synthetic Cells, Catalysis in Confinements, Biomacromolecular Condensates.
