ABOUT ME
I am a surface physicist, exploring the electronic structure and the morphology, at the atomic and molecular scale, of surfaces and interfaces. Current projects encompass: on-surface reaction chemistry to obtain directed growth of 2D organic layers; energy alignment modification at the organic-oxide interface using dipole-bearing organics; electronic structure and assembly of ionic liquids at interfaces...

On-surface chemistry: Toward 2D organics
Developing a molecular toolbox to control chemical pathways of organics on surfaces, via molecular design, imaging and probing the electronic structure.

Rutgers University
Research Assistant Professor
Functional Organics on Oxides Surfaces
Developing strategies to control the energy alignment of organic layers at the surface of oxide materials.
Ionic Liquids: Order and Electronic Structure
Exploring how the ionic order at the vacuum-liquid interface or at the surface-liquid interface influences electronic properties and resulting electrochemical properties.
