CNR Senior Researcher working for a decade on multi-scale modeling of Interfaces between Biomolecules and Nanomaterials, Biological Macromolecules and Proteins Folding Dynamics, using methods ranging from ab initio calculations to atomistic and coarse grained molecular dynamics. Currently PI of a PNRR Extended 2022 Network 13, EU Grant (One Health Basic and Translational Research Actions) and PI of National Grants (PRIN2020, CNR SEED) she is co-Inventor of and Italian patent deposit “Biosensore per la rilevazione di particelle virali” (2022) PI of several supercomputing projects (e.g. Oak Ridge (USA): CNMS2020-B-00433; HPC-Europa: 2019/ HPC177BQ0O). She teaches at the Department of Physics Univ. Modena currently “Chemical Physics of Biomolecules”, Master's degree in Physics. She is the author of ~40 peer-review papers, with h factor 18 (source: scopus/scholar), and contributed to ~20 conferences with invited talks.
