Francesco Paesani
Ph.D., Theoretical Physical Chemistry,
University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy
Bio:
Francesco joined the Voth Group in June, 2005. His research focuses on the development of quantum methodologies to describe chemical-physical processes in condensed phase systems. He is an active developer of the AMBER suite of biomolecular codes, of which he is the author of the module to compute quantum properties of biological molecules. Francesco likes spending his free time with his wife and training for Ironman triathlons.
