Biography

My scientific interests are related to quantum chemistry. My research activity is currently aimed at investigating the

  • the bioinorganic chemistry of the FeFe hydrogenase H-cluster and its biomimetical modelsT
  • photochemical and photophysical properties of organometallic molecular systems of biomimetic interest;
  • role of Copper ions in oxidative stress induced by Alzheimer’s dieases
  • fluorescence emission properties of strong electrolyte in water solution
