I am currently completing my PhD research concerning heat transport in nanoscale systems. We are currently focusing on fundamental research on anomalous heat transport in 1D systems and in silico design of devices to harness exotic phenonema of interest for technological applications. Combining detailed statistical mechanics and accurate interaction models, my interests span through nanoscale energy transfer processes and more generally out-of-equilibrium and statistical physics.

My area of expertise revolves around All-Atom Molecular Dynamics (MD), which allows to explore the microscopic dynamics of individual atoms. This powerful technique allows for realistic modelling of nanoscale systems computationally prohibitive for conventional ab initio methods. In particular, environmental effects and full conformational-space dynamics are accounted for to match experimental conditions.

My research also includes the design and development of quantum-mechanically derived force fields in molecular systems (JOYCE3.0). These descriptions retain QM accuracy within the MD framework, gathering the best of both worlds.
