Profilo professionale
Chemist with solid experience in computational chemistry and molecular modeling, developed through national and international research rojects. Skilled in all-atom molecular dynamics, free-energy methods, and bioinformatics-driven analysis of biomolecular interactions. Experienced in designing and optimizing simulation workflows, interpreting complex datasets, and collaborating within multidisciplinary teams. Currently seeking an industry role where I can contribute both as a computational chemist/bioinformatician and as a chemist in a broader sense, leveraging my strong academic background and versatile skill set.
