About
I am a PhD chemist with over five years of research experience in the design, synthesis, and characterization of functional organic molecules and conjugated materials for applications spanning organic electronics, nonlinear optics, and bioimaging. My research focuses on developing structurally tailored donor–acceptor and π-conjugated molecular systems and establishing clear structure–property relationships through organic synthesis, purification, and comprehensive photophysical and electrochemical characterization.
My research interests include fluorescent and multifunctional organic molecules with tailored absorption and emission properties, two-photon absorption and nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), and molecular systems for OLED applications. I also have experience with organic and perovskite solar-cell materials and device fabrication, including the relationship between molecular structure, energy-level alignment, charge-transfer characteristics, thin-film properties, and device performance.
Beyond molecular synthesis and characterization, I have hands-on experience in clean-room and glovebox environments and in the fabrication and testing of multilayer OLED devices using high-vacuum thermal evaporation. During a funded research placement at Slovak University of Technology under Prof. Martin Weis, I gained practical experience with OLED fabrication using a Kurt J. Lesker SPECTROS 100 evaporation system. This synthesis-to-device perspective enables me to connect molecular architecture with optical and electronic performance.
More recently, my interests have increasingly focused on multifunctional fluorescent molecules that combine strong nonlinear optical responses and enhanced photophysics with optoelectronics and imaging capabilities. I am particularly interested in the development of advanced organic chromophores for two-photon bioimaging and related biomedical applications, while maintaining fundamental interest in organic synthesis, conjugated molecular design, photophysics, and OLED/OSC.
My research has resulted in nine peer-reviewed publications and one filed design patent, and I have also contributed as a reviewer for the Journal of Molecular Structure (Elsevier). My overall research goal is to develop next-generation functional organic molecules by integrating molecular design, synthetic chemistry and photophysics for optoelectronics devices or imaging applications.
