معرفی
Michele Cascella is a Full Professor in Theoretical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo, and a Principal Investigator at the Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Sciences. His research focuses on multi-scale computational modeling of (bio)chemical systems in condensed phases, combining ab initio, classical, and hybrid QM/MM molecular dynamics with coarse-grained and mesoscale approaches.
- PhD in Statistical and Biological Physics from SISSA (2004)
- Postdoc at EPFL (Switzerland)
- Assistant Professor at University of Bern (2005-2014)
His research explores soft matter systems at the interface between molecular and mesoscale resolutions using density-field methods, with applications in physics, chemistry, and biochemistry. He leads a DFG-funded research network on multiscale soft matter modeling and collaborates internationally.
Recent publications highlight advancements in hybrid particle-field molecular dynamics, soft matter simulations under pressure, and software development for exascale computing. His work spans computational methodologies for surfactants, lipid bilayers, transition metal complexes, and biological membranes.
Scientific Awards
