I am an associate professor in the Statistical and
Biological Physics sector in the International School for Advanced
Studies (SISSA),
Trieste. I work mainly on the development of techniques related to
enhancing the capability of computer simulations to provide predictive
answers for complex heterogeneous systems, in particular for biomolecules.
A more detailed description of my activity can be found in the Research page.
