Nanoparticles

Celso de Mello Donega is an associate professor at the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science at Utrecht University. He holds an M.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (1990) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Utrecht University (1994). With extensive expertise in the chemistry and optoelectronic properties of nanomaterials, Donega focuses on colloidal nanocrystals and heteronanocrystals of semiconductors. His pioneering work has led to the development of new preparation methods for high-quality colloidal nanomaterials, enhancing their properties and enabling new compositions. This has allowed his research group to uncover new phenomena and make significant contributions to the understanding of nanoscale materials' chemistry and physics, with applications in biomedical imaging, light-emitting devices, and luminescent solar concentrators.
