Major Research Interests

FEM Modelling of multiphysics effects in microsystem components (MEMS and MOEMS) through finite-element-based numerical solvers

Material science, Surface plasmons effects, chemical sensors

Optical properties of metallic thin films, Surface effects as SERS and TERS (Surface or Tip Enhanced Raman Scattering), fibre optic sensor based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Spectroscopy and defects states in Conducting polymers.

+ information 

Near field optical spectroscopy / microscopy (SNOM), Light propagation in nanodevices (Experimental realization and numerical modelling)

+ information 

AFM and XPS Studies of the adhesion of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) on nanostructured surface. Understanding of the interactions between cells and implant surfaces is essential in the field of tissue engineering and biomaterials.
