Short Bio

Alice Ruini is Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, Informatics and Mathematics (FIM) of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) since 2015. Previously she was Researcher at the same University since 2005. She got her PhD (1997) and Master Degree (1995) in Condensed Matter Physics at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, and her Diploma in Physics cum laude at University of Modena (1994).

She is coauthor of 75 papers, h-index is 23 (source: ISI Web of Science, 05/05/2021). She contributed with >10 invited talks to national and international conferences.

She is coordinator of the “Research” Commission at FIM and member of the executive FIM board. She is member of the PhD School in “Physics and Nanoscience” at UNIMORE and is associated to the CNR-Nano Institute. She is/was P.I. and co-P.I. of local, national and international research projects, and responsible of several supercomputing projects at CINECA.

Research Interests

The main goal of her research activity is to understand structural, electronic, transport, vibrational and optical properties of materials, mainly by means of ab-initio theoretical/computational tool, based on both density-functional theory (DFT) and beyond-DFT approaches. Her focus is mostly on nanostructured, hybrid and/or low-dimensional systems, e.g. carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, organic polymers, and functionalized surfaces. Besides prediction of system properties and simulation of related spectroscopies, her research efforts also include method development, on the realm of ab initio schemes to address excited-state properties.
