EMPLOYMENT OFFER. 3-year employment contrat starting in November 2022 (flexible), with the possibility of an extra year extension.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION. A sustainable future starts with efficient light-energy conversion. In particular, light-induced spin transitions are essential to harness the power of the light in applications like catalysis, light energy storage, or memory development. However, a challenge is still to overcome the energy losses that arise from competing decay paths after photon absorption, making molecular spin transitions inefficient.
This thesis will develop bio-hybrids with customizable spin transitions combining engineered proteins and photoactive molecules. In the lab, we will synthesize bio-hybrids with different structures and study their excited state dynamics using different spectroscopic techniques, including femtosecond transient absorption and time-resolved photoluminescence. This strategy allows to study the light conversion principles and optimize them for the desired application.
This project is funded by the La Caixa Junior Leader program
