BIOGRAPHY

Daniel Forrer graduated in Chemistry from the University of Padova with a laurea (MD equivalent) in 2006 and a phD in 2010. He joined the CNR in 2012.
He was visiting scientist at the University of Napoli “Federico II”, at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa and at the Princeton University.
His research activity is focused on the ab-initio modelling of materials, mainly formulated in the Density Functional Theory framework, and covers various type of materials (inorganic materials, functionalized surfaces, metal alloy nanoparticles, molecules) and properties (catalysis, electrochemical activity, thermodynamic stability, ageing, spectroscopic and plasmonic properties).
He is a lecturer at the University of Padova.
