Alessandro MATTONI
(Istituto IOM-CNR)
Alessandro Mattoni is staff researcher at the Cagliari Unit of Istituto Officina dei Materiali (CNR-IOM) where he coordinates the theoretical research on nanomaterials for energy. A.M. graduated in Physics at the University of Perugia in 1998, earned his PhD in Physics at the University of Padova and moved to Department of Physics of the University of Cagliari in 2003 working at the Sardinian Laboratory for Computational Materials Science and, since 2010, as a researcher of Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. A.M. has a long-term expertise in atomistic simulations based on molecular dynamics and multiscale modeling of materials with applications in nanomechanics, opto- and micro-electronics, photovoltaics and photocatalysis. A.M. is author of 60 publications in international peered-reviewed journals and reviewer for journals of ACS, APS, Wiley and Elsevier. A.M. has been coordinator of the theoretical units of several national and international projects related to nanomaterials for energy RAS-2009, RAS-2011, MIUR-PRIN, EU-FP6, PON-Netergit. During 2010-2013 he has been the national coordinator of the IIT-SEED project POLYPHEMO on hybrid polymer based materials for photovoltaics funded by the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia.
