We investigate in detail the mechanisms and applications of bioluminescence and chemiluminescence reactions, focusing on understanding light-emitting reactions and developing analytical tools based on these phenomena. We were able to show chemiluminescence in an organic peroxide crystals for the first time.

Research in this domain explores the development of organic crystals exhibiting unique emissive properties such as demonstrating of dual-mode light transduction through plastically bendable organic crystals functioning as optical waveguides or showing unique solid state photochemical reactions. We aim to create materials suitable for optical waveguides, flexible optoelectronic devices and beyond.

This area focuses on the design and synthesis of organic molecules with tailored luminescent properties for applications in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other optoelectronic devices. Our work emphasizes enhancing photoluminescence efficiency and stability through molecular engineering, as well as bio-inspired light emitting molecules (BiOLEMs) that are biodegradable.
