His research interests can be described by four different topics:

  • Synthesis and reactivity of metal complexes of porphyrins and related macrocycles.
  • Thin film deposition of organic materials.
  • Development of porphyrin based chemical sensors.
  • Development and application of artificial sensorial systems (E-nose and E-tongue).
  • Study of the opto-electronic properties of porphyrin and related macrocycle thin films He is co-director of the Sensors Group of the University of Rome Tor Vergata (http://sensorsgroup.uniroma2.it/)
