The laboratory is equipped with several laser spectroscopic systems for the development of advanced optical/spectroscopic techniques for chemical and morphological characterization of nanoparticles. In particular aerosols and micro-pollutants at the exhaust of combustion systems and in the environment are investigated.
New energy devices (catalytic or not) for micro-generation are also currently under development.
