Assistant (1973-1983) and Associate Professor (1983-2000).

Full Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Insubria since 2000.

Six months at the CECAM in Paris (1969) and six months at the University of Cambridge (1981).
 

Research interests

 Our research activity is in the field of quantum Monte Carlo methods.

We have developed new methods and improved algorithms to increase the efficiency of our QMC codes. At present we are investigating the nodal surfaces of the trial wave functions to improve the quality of the diffusion Monte Carlo results. We are studying the electronic structure of atoms and molecules and of their positron complexes. In the field of Helium clusters, both pure and including impurities, we are investigating new trial wave functions and implementing better algorithms for their optimization. We are investigating metal clusters embedded in He clusters.
