Giacomello Alberto

Giacomello Alberto is an Associate Professor at Sapienza University of Rome. His research focuses on nanotechnology, molecular dynamics simulations, and the physics of interfaces, particularly exploring hydrophobic surfaces, nanopores, and ion channel mechanisms. He investigates phenomena like liquid intrusion/extrusion in confined spaces, memristive nanopores for neuromorphic computing, and the structural dynamics of biomolecules.

Key research themes include:

• Design and analysis of superhydrophobic materials
• Mechanisms of ion transport through nanopores
• Computational modeling of protein-ligand interactions
• Energy harvesting via hydrophobic gating
• Machine learning approaches for materials characterization

Recent work highlights the development of predictive models for nanopore-based devices and elucidating allosteric regulation in biological systems. His contributions bridge molecular-level insights with technological applications in energy, biotechnology, and smart materials.
