The University of Vienna is the largest Austrian research institution hosting 6,800 academics within 15 faculties and 5 centers, dedicated to both basic and applied research. Furthermore, 16 research platforms have been established to promote especially innovative interdisciplinary research projects. The University also houses the greatest amount of research infrastructure in Austria (https://forschungsinfrastruktur.bmbwf.gv.at/en).
The group of Prof. Davide Bonifazi focuses on the design and development of synthetic strategies for the preparation of innovative functional organic molecular modules and their structuring into hierarchized multifunctional π-conjugated architectures, to demonstrate key functions/basic concepts in highly interdisciplinary fields at the boundaries of chemistry, physics, materials science and biology. Current topics include: i) supramolecular organic nanochemistry, ii) advanced materials based on magnetic carbon nanostructures, iii) supramolecular chemistry interfacing cellular functions and iv) light-triggered chemical transformations.
