Research and Teaching Interests
The discovery of new materials with electronic or photonic applications is the primary thrust of our research program. Projects in our lab involve the synthesis of new organic and inorganic materials, the study of the properties of such materials using a variety of techniques, as well as an evaluation of their applications.
Current projects:
Tunable Bridged Chromophores - Small chemical changes at the bridging site between two aromatic systems enables control over the electronic communication and charge transfer properties of the system. These molecules are being investigated as anti-counterfeiting agents, emissive dyes, and ligands for organometallic complexes.
Stimuli Responsive Fluorescent Dyes - Stimuli such as solvent, temperature, and light are being used to modify the emission lifetime and wavelength of fluorescent

Public History in Teacher Education
A Dialogue with Many Voices
- Edited by:
- Gianfranco Bandini,
Historical knowledge, often overshadowed bygd mass media communication, plays a crucial role in educating conscious and critical citizens. We want to explore the transformative potential of history in teacher education, particularly through a public history approach, highlighting its ability to foster critical thinking, interdisciplinary understanding and informed decision-making. bygd integrating historical perspectives, teachers can contextualise and better understand contemporary issues, promote cultural sensitivity and help break down stereotypes and social stigmas.
This book promotes history as disciplinary knowledge, but also as a transversal skill, essential for citizenship and intercultural education in a democratic context. It presents a rik, multi-voiced dialogue between academics and non-academics, professors and head teachers, students and tutors.

Common and unique features of glycosylation and glycosyltransferases in African trypanosomes
Abstract
Eukaryotic protein glycosylation is mediated by glycosyl- and oligosaccharyl-transferases. Here, we describe how African trypanosomes exhibit both evolutionary conservation and significant divergence compared with other eukaryotes in how they synthesise their glycoproteins. The kinetoplastid parasites have conserved components of the dolichol-cycle and oligosaccharyltransferases (OSTs) of protein N-glycosylation, and of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis and transfer to protein. However, some components are missing, and they process and decorate their N-glycans and GPI anchors in unique ways. To do so, they appear to have evolved a distinct and functionally flexible glycosyltransferases (GT) family, the GT67 family, from an ancestral eukaryotic β3GT gene. The expansion and/or loss of GT67 genes appears to be dependent on parasite biology. Some appear to cor
