Gaetano Ricci

I received my Bachelor’s degree (2017) and Master’s degree (2019) from the University of Bologna (Italy), where I conducted my thesis project in computational chemistry under the supervision of Professor Fabrizia Negri. In 2020, I moved to the University of Namur (Belgium) to join the group of Professor Yoann Olivier. After nine months as a research assistant, I began my Ph.D. studies within the same group. My research focused on exploring the electronic structure and photophysical properties of Multi-Resonant Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (MR-TADF) and Inverted Singlet-Triplet (INVEST) systems. I successfully defended my Ph.D. thesis in 2024. Since January 2025, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Molecular Electronic Structure Group at the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC). My current research focuses on exploring the interaction between photons and electronic spins in organic materials.
