Valentina is a second year PhD student at University College London (UCL). She obtained a Master degree in Material Science and Engineering at University of Genova. Her work is focused on the preparation and characterization of photonic systems suitable for flexible optoelectronic devices. This work will include different preparation methods of the systems as well as different optical-morphological characterization, such as polarized transmittance and reflectance angle resolved spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and AFM.
