Author Information

Michele Cascella got his PhD in Statistical and Biological Physics in 2004 at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste. After a postdoctoral experience at EPFL, in 2008, being awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation professorship grant, he began his independent career as Assistant Professor at the University of Bern. Since 2016, he is Full Professor in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oslo. His research is dedicated to the development and application of multi-scale and multi-resolution methods for biochemical systems in the condensed phase. Recent focus is on soft systems combining computer simulations with SAXS/SANS experiment, and in molecular modelling of main group organometallic compounds (Grignard reagents), using ab initio and machine learning approaches. Raffaello Potestio received his PhD in Statistical and Biological Physics from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, Italy, in 2010, with a PhD thesis on coarse-grained models of protein structure and interactions. In November 2010 he started a postdoc in the Theory group at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP) in Mainz, Germany; here, between August 2013 and December 2017, he was Group Leader of the Statistical Mechanics of Biomolecules group. In 2017 he was awarded an ERC starting grant and moved to the University of Trento, Italy, where he currently is associate professor in Physics. His main research interests are the development and application of coarse-graining strategies for soft and biological matter, and the investigation of the relation between model resolution and physical properties in complex systems.
