Personal profile
Biography
Marco Molinari is a senior lecturer in physical and computational chemistry at the School of Applied Sciences. He is a full member of the EPSRC funded Materials Chemistry Consortium and of the Huddersfield High Performance Computing Research Group.
He carried out his undergraduate studies at the University of Pavia (Italy, 2006) before taking his PhD in computational chemistry (2009) as a collaboration between the Universality of Pavia and Bath (UK). He started his EPSRC funded postdoctoral research in computational chemistry in the group of Stephen Parker at the University of Bath, working on surface science, materials science and computational chemistry.
