X-ray absorption and photoemission on surfaces or molecular and atomic gases, with a special interest in in organic molecules. Development of instrumentation for absorption and photoemission spectroscopies with the use of Synchrotron Radiation. Beamline scientist of ALOISA beamline and of Gas Phase beamline at the italian synchrotron ELETTRA ( Trieste , Italy ). I am interested in the study of molecules as building blocks for prototypical devices because they offer an almost infinite pool of geometries and functional groups. I have worked on solid, gaseous and low-density system at some of the most advanced light sources in Europe, such as synchrotrons, free electron lasers and HHG facilitie |
