Biography
Marco Molinari is Reader in Computational Chemistry and Materials Science at the School of Applied Sciences. He serves as a member of the committee of the EPSRC-funded Materials Chemistry Consortium and of the RSC local section Huddersfield.
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.
His current research applies computational techniques to energy and enviromental materials, their surfaces and interfaces.
