Research Interests

Marco is a materials scientist with experience in interdisciplinary projects at the crossroads between physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and data science. He develops predictive modeling techniques based on first principles numerical simulations to help design advanced materials for energy, and quantum information technologies.

  • Quantum simulations: First principles and atomistic modeling of materials (solids, liquids, interfaces, nanomaterials): density functional theory, many-body perturbation theory, molecular dynamics, quantum embedding theories.
  • Materials for sustainable energy: solar and photoelectrochemical cells, clean water, low-power electronics.
  • Materials for quantum information science: quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication, quantum transduction.
  • Scientific computing: Methodology and software development: exascale computing, numerical algorithms, parallel coding, heterogenous computing (GPUs).
  • Scientific data: Artificial intelligence and data science for materials science: property prediction, data repositories, reproducibility of scientific results.
  • Quantum computing: Quantum simulations of materials on noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers.
