Tommaso Marcato

Dr. Tommaso Marcato is a Lecturer at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences, ETH Zürich. He earned his MSc in Chemical and Bioengineering from ETH Zürich after completing his BSc in Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His research focuses on perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), emission anisotropy, and light-outcoupling efficiency, with a particular emphasis on transition dipole moment orientation and nanocrystal self-assembly.

His publications span topics such as

• Stabilization of CsPbI₃ nanoplatelets via metal iodide doping
• Molecular orientation engineering in OLEDs
• Ultraflexible self-powered optoelectronics
• Electroluminescent metasurfaces using perovskite nanocrystals

His work aims to overcome photon trapping in devices by manipulating emitter orientation and exploring quantum confinement effects.

Dr. Marcato's recent articles (2019–2025) demonstrate expertise in

• Hybrid perovskite systems
• Quantum dot applications
• Photonic device architecture
• Surface passivation techniques

. He is part of the Shih group at ETH Zurich and has received funding from ETH-33 18-2 for his research on graphene-templated molecular alignment in LEDs.
