Chemical Reactivity at Low-Temperatures

Investigations on chemical reactivity at low-temperatures (down to 4 K) trigger by narrowband UV-Vis-IR radiation and using steady-state FTIR spectroscopy

Espectroscopia de fluorescência

i) fluorescência em estado estacionário ii) fluorescência resolvida no tempo

Fotobiologia

i) viabilidade celular; ii) fototoxicidade; iii) "uptake"; e iv) mecanismo de morte celular

Infrared and Raman Spectrospcopy

Infrared and Raman spectroscopic analysis applied to materials and food science, astrochemistry, arts and cultural heritage, and fundamental science

Photoacoustic calorimetry

High precision thermochemistry studies of transient species. Quantum yields of fast photoinduced processes. Detection of fast structural volume changes in molecules and macromolecules.

Photoacoustic tomography

Based on acoustic detection of optical absorption from endogenous chromophores (e.g. hemoglobin) or exogenous contrast agents (organic dyes or nanoparticles), it is an imaging modality with great potential for preclinical research and clinical practice.
