DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will give and overview of my latest works relat
 ed to the development of electronic structure methods for the computation 
 and characterization of electronic excited states and their application to
  the study of photophysical processes in molecules and aggregates.\n\nDuri
 ng the presentation\, I will shortly introduce some of these methodologies
  and computational tools\, and I will illustrate the application of electr
 onic structure methods to the study of a variety of interesting chemical s
 ystems and physical phenomena. In particular\, I will highlight computatio
 nal studies on: (i) multiradicaloid nature of molecular systems\, (ii) int
 erchromophore electronic coupling in symmetric dimers\, (iii) organic dyes
  for high-performance sensitized solar cells\, (iv) organometallic iridium
  triplet emitters and their aggregation induced enhanced emission\, (v) pl
 asmonic-like resonances in small clusters\, and (vi) the singlet exciton f
 ission mechanism.
