Modelling
and computer simulations of selected protein fragments and proteins.
(Università di Bologna, XIX Ciclo, Jan 2005-Dec 2007). Adriana did
her first degree in Chemistry at Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche, group of
Prof. E. Rizzarelli, University of Catania and Scuola
Superiore di Catania. Adriana after a postdoc with Prof. M.Parrinello
(ETH, Lugano) and with Prof. Rizzarelli (Catania) is now Associate Professo
at University of Catanzaro (apietropaolo@unicz.it).
Computer
simulation of ordering and dynamics in liquid crystals in the bulk and close
to the surface, (Univ. Bologna, XXI Ciclo). Antonio now after postodc
positions in our group worked in the group of Prof. Pino Milano at University
of Salerno. (antonio.pizzirusso80@gmail.com)

liquid crystalline systems: computer simulation and ESR studies (Università
di Bologna, XXII Ciclo; Jan 2007 - Dec 2009) ,
Isabella has got her first degree (Laurea) in Industrial Chemistry with top
marks, with the supervision of Prof. A. Hockoeppler and working, mainly at
ETH Zurich, on a thesis on the Supramolecular aggregation of amphiphilic peptides.
Isabella has been collaborating with us first within the EU project NAIMO
and then within PRRIITT Nanofaber (22
May 2006 - 31 Dec 2006) and other projects.
Davide has
got his first degree (Laurea) in Chemistry working on the Photophysical Characterization
of Fluorescent Probes at Ciamician Chemistry Department with Prof. A. Credi,
and in our group has been working on Modelling and Computer Simulations of
Nanosystems and Surfaces. Davide has
done postdoctoral periods in the group of Prof. Alenka Luzar, Department of
Chemistry, Virginia Commonwealth University , US and of Prof. Zoltan Soos
at U. Princeton, US. Davide is now working as Program Manager - HPC Architect
at Microsoft, Redmond, WA.
Manuele got his first degree in Industrial Chemistry working with Prof. R.
Tarroni (Rimini) and his Laurea Specialistica in Chemistry working on Theoretical
Photochemistry with Prof. M. Garavelli at Ciamician Chemistry Department and
with Prof. M. Robb at Imperial College, London, and then started a project
on Modelling and Computer Simulations of Transport in our group. It is most
sad to record the death of Manuele, after a long illness, on March 2011. He
fought with great courage his battle with the disease and continued to work
with enthusiasm and with vivid intelligence on scientific problems until the
end. I wish to rembember him as one of the brightest and most promising students.
After her first degree and a Ph.D. in our group, Lara has continued as a postdoc
with various Modelling and Simulation projects, before joining CINECA supercomputing
center.
Erika has got her Laurea in Industrial Chemistry, with a thesis
project in our group and has now completed her
Ph.D. on Modelling and Computer Simulation project. Erika
is now working in Industry at MADEL.
(Jan 2012-Dec 2014) 
Mattia
has obtained his Laurea and Ph.D. in our group working on atomistic molecular
dynamics simulations of smectic liquid crystals. Mattia now works in industry
at Green Energy Storage, Trento.
Renato Ferreira de
Souza (Jan
2014-Dec 2016)
Renato is from Brazil and has
obtained his Master of Science from Universidade Estadual de Maringá,
working under the supervision of Prof. L. Evangelista. Renato is now in Brasil
at University of Maringa'.
Andrea Lorenzoni (Jan
2015-Dec 2017) Andrea worked toward his Ph.D. on a computational research
project on Organic Electronics materials in a collaboration between our group
and that of Dr. Francesco Mercuri, Istituto per lo Studio dei Materiali Nanostrutturati
(ISMN - CNR), Bologna
