Matteo Lusi

I am interested in synthetic crystallography whereby new crystalline materials can be made rational assembling molecular components. To this end I exploit solution as well as solid state techniques (expecially manual grinding). Recently I have focus this interest towards the investigation of solid solutions and mechanical properties of molecular crystals.
