I obtained my PhD in 2010 at The Ohio State University working on the development and application of computational models to study water near interfaces. After a 3 year Postdoc with Prof. Michele Parrinello, I moved to the CMSP group at the ICTP where I began my independent career.

My research is at the boundary between physics, chemistry and biology. I am interested in the physical chemistry of liquids with a special focus on aqueous systems. We use advanced computational techniques including both classical and first principles electronic structure approaches to investigate the structural, dynamical and electronic properties of organic matter immersed in water. We collaborate with leading experimental groups in the field.
