The Nanostructured Materials for Optoelectronics and Energy Harvesting Research Unit is formed by two Research Groups that focus their activities on materials for energy applications: the Nanostructured Materials for Optoelectronics and Energy Harvesting (NANOPTO) group and the Laser Processing (LASER) group.

The NANOPTO group studies the synthesis, characterization and application of semiconducting structures for organic and perovskite photovoltaics, organic thermoelectrics, and photonics.

The LASER group is focused on the preparation of nanostructures functional materials using multiple laser techniques.
