Our research group aims to advance the knowledge and development of photonic, electronic, and magnetic materials. We focus on investigating and understanding the properties of these materials, as well as exploring new synthesis and fabrication methods. We explore a diverse range of material families, including alloys, oxides, polymers and hybrids, envisaging their application from bulk to nanoscale. Our goal is to develop materials with enhanced performance and innovative functionalities for applications in various areas, including health, energy, and information technologies. Additionally, we are committed to interdisciplinary collaborations to drive the integration of these materials into advanced technological solutions and contribute to scientific and technological progress in the field of functional materials.

3D temperature mapping critical to understanding the nanoworld (ThermoRise)
European ComissionCoordinator
Nanometre-scale devices capable of measuring temperature variations at a molecular level are valuable in both fundamental and applied science. For example, they can quickly measure micromachine overheating or the temperature inside of a cell. Although they hold tremendous promise for many applications, their 2D resolution has been a limiting fac...Associated Laboratory CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials (LA/P/0006/2020)
