Research Interests

My main interests:(1) basic understanding of hybrid materials, such as the self-assembly phenomena in ultra-thin organic films on metals, semiconductors, and insulator substrates; (2) Interaction between metallic structures and ultra-thin metallic films on monomolecular organic support (SAMs); (3) The design of monomolecular films for different applications: sensors and catalytically active surfaces ; (4) molecular electronics based on self-assembled monolayers (fabrication and design of the memory storage and transistors); (5) Nano-surface science for medicines; (6) Electrochemistry; (7) Theoretical and Computational surface science.
