Bo Albinsson

Bo Albinsson is a Full Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry under the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. His research focuses on energy and electron transfer mechanisms relevant to solar energy, advanced optical spectroscopy, and DNA nanostructures functionalized with photoactive molecules. He oversees three laser laboratories specialized in time-resolved emission and absorption studies across millisecond to femtosecond scales.

His work integrates molecular engineering, nanotechnology, and photophysical characterization to develop novel materials for photon upconversion and energy storage. Key areas include triplet-triplet annihilation, singlet fission, and photoswitchable systems using quantum dots and organic chromophores. Albinsson has pioneered DNA-based nanostructures for light-harvesting applications and contributed to methodologies for supramolecular assemblies and FRET analysis.

Publications highlight advancements in semiconductor nanocrystals, pH-sensitive nucleic acid analogs, and biocompatible imaging agents. His research bridges fundamental photophysics with applied technologies for renewable energy and biomedical imaging.
