Research interests
The materials object of my scientific activity are strongly correlated systems, and the properties that trigger our interest are mainly the electrical and magnetic ones. This research may contribute to paving the way towards a new generation of electric-field controlled spintronic devices as well as plastic electronic devices. The last ones, based on multifunctional conducting organic materials to be used for fabrication of very sensitive flexible pressure or temperature sensors and electronic circuits, represent an interest, e.g. for biomedical applications.
