After postdoc periods in USA and Italy, in 1997 he joined the Italian National Research Council (CNR) where he became Research Director in 2007. His scientific activity is concerned with the photochemistry and photophysics of coordination compounds, carbon nanostructures and supramolecular materials, with focus on luminescence, light harvesting, and photoinduced energy- and electron-transfer. This research is targeted to technological applications such as solar energy conversion and novel materials for lighting based on earth abundant metals. Nicola Armaroli has given invited lectures at international conferences, universities and research centres worldwide. He has run research projects as coordinator or CNR principal investigator in the frame of several programmes funded by the European Commission. To date he has published over 180 papers on international journals and 5 books. Since 2010, he has served as chairman of the Working Party on Chemistry and Energy of EuChemS.
