My work in UHMob

I am responsible for developing optimized Hamiltonians which will be used in computational evaluations of charge carrier transport.

Keywords

DFT, ab-initio, computational chemistry, organic semiconductors, electron-phonon coupling, transient localization, quantum mechanics, hamiltonian

After UHMob

I am not yet sure of my future after this project, but I would not rule out pursuing an academic career or working in sectors related to energetic sustainability.

About Me

I earned both my BSc and MSc at the University of Parma, but I have always been interested in expanding my scientific horizons, so I won a scholarship to spend a semester of my BSc at Boston College and earned a dual MSc between Parma and the University of Cape Town. This helped me immensely in exploring different facets of chemistry and getting to know people from incredibly diverse backgrounds. The ability to keep collaborating with many interesting people is largely the reason why I wanted to work in an ITN program.

In my free time I enjoy learning languages – in addition to English and my native Italian I speak Spanish and French – playing basketball or football, hiking, cooking and reading literary fiction.
