Matteo Masino

Matteo Masino is an Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical, Life and Environmental Sustainability Sciences, University of Parma. With over 40 publications and extensive teaching experience in physical chemistry and spectroscopy, his research focuses on organic molecular semiconductors and charge-transfer systems for optoelectronic applications.

His work combines

• experimental optical spectroscopy (IR-Vis-UV, Raman)
• cryogenic and high-pressure techniques
• theoretical modeling of electron-phonon interactions

to investigate materials like organic crystals, thin films, and charge-transfer complexes.

Key research trends include

• neutral-to-ionic phase transitions
• ferroelectric properties
• phonon dynamics
• microplastic detection in biological systems

, as evidenced by his 2025-2020 publications.

He teaches foundational and advanced courses such as

• Physical Chemistry I (Bachelor's)
• Molecular Functional Materials (Master's)
• Applied Spectroscopy

and serves as a tutor for materials science programs.
