§

Our research focuses on the controlled assembly of functional nanostructures - with nanoscale spatial resolution towards single-molecule control - and their use in optoelectronics, biosensing and single-molecule biological investigations. We employ different building blocks, from carbon nanotubes and 2D nanomaterials (as nano-electrodes/transducers) to DNA origami (as nanoscale scaffolds). Thruogh (supra)molecular interactions -including via DNA as linker and template- we drive the self-assembly of nanoscale heterostrucutres in solution and their organization on nanopatterned substrates in device configurations.
