About

I am a chemist, and I studied at the University Federico II of Naples where I obtained my Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences.  I joined IIT after an exciting post doc in the Martínez group at the Stanford University.  

Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the  Atomistic Simulations group led by Prof. Parrinello. 

My research interests lie at the intersection of chemistry, and computer science. I develop and apply theoretical methods to explore photoinduced processes, and discover new chemical reactions in complex environments using enhanced sampling techniques. Alongside these research topics, I'm also interested in combining cutting-edge technologies in machine learning, cloud computing and augmented reality to develop interactive applications to make computational chemistry readily accessible for the wider community.
