Congratulations to our PhD student Amanda Arcidiacono for her talk at WATOC 2025 in Oslo, the international conference of World Association of Theoretical and Computational chemists. The title of the presented talk was "Understanding excited states of carotenoids in environments with Machine Learning".
Congratulations to our PhD student Elena Betti for “The Journal of Computational Chemistry best poster award” received at WATOC 2025 in Oslo, for her contribution entitled “First-principles picture of energy transfer in plant Photosystem II: excitation flows and their regulation”.
Congratulations to our PhD candidate Matteo Pugliesi for his work entitled “Low-Iridium Containing Ir–Ru–W Nanocomposite for Acidic Oxygen Evolution Reaction: The Role of Tungsten on Its Activity and Stability” published on ACS Applied Energy Materials.
Congratulations to our PhD candidate Andrea Giovanelli for his work entitled “Retro-Favorskii reaction employing fluoride sources and its use as immobilization strategy” published on the Journal of Fluorine Chemistry. Retro-Favorskii is the reaction that converts propargyl alcohols into the alkyne and ketone precursors. This reaction is commonly used to deprotect terminal alkynes with elimination of acetone.
