My research is focused on the synthesis and the photophysical characterization of carbene-based organometallic compounds as efficient triplet emitters for different applications.

I kindly acknowledge the  International  Centre  for Frontier  Research  in  Chemistry  (icFRC), LabEx Chemistry of Complex Systems (CSC), University of Strasbourg and CNRS for supporting  my PhD grant.
