Research Fellow at the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering (DICAM), University of Bologna, specializing in the modeling, simulation, and characterization of polymeric materials for gas separation and barrier applications. In 2024, he obtained a Ph.D. in Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering, defending a thesis on molecular and multiscale modeling of gas transport properties in semicrystalline polymers. The work integrated atomistic simulations with thermodynamic models to quantify the influence of the crystalline phase on sorption, diffusion, and permeation, elucidating the link between microscopic structure and macroscopic material behavior.
His scientific interests focus on understanding material behavior across multiple scales and integrating computational approaches with experimental evidence, aiming to connect molecular mechanisms to macroscopic performance and to guide rational materials design. His research also includes modeling liquid mixture separation processes via reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, with a process-oriented approach to performance optimization.
