معرفی
Prof. Claudia Filippi is a Full Professor at the University of Twente since 2009, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Technology (TNW). She leads research in the Computational Chemical Physics (CCP) group.
- Education:
- Ph.D. in Physics, Cornell University (1996)
- Laurea in Fisica, Universitá di Trento (1991)
As a leading expert in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, her work spans electronic structure theory, excited states, and materials science. She develops advanced computational techniques for accurate molecular and solid-state simulations, with recent focus on exascale hardware adaptation and multi-level QMC approaches.
Her research is characterized by quantum mechanical simulations of complex systems, including photoactive molecules, nitrogenase models, and bioconjugate systems. She contributes to method development in wave function optimization and derivative calculations for QMC, and her work bridges theoretical chemistry and computational physics.
Recent publications highlight her team's work on exascale quantum simulations (2025), electronic excitations in cyanine dyes (2024), and relativistic effects in nitrogenase models (2024). She has pioneered QMC/MMpol methods for excited states and state-specific embedding potentials for accurate excitation energy calculations.
