Andrea FERRETTI
CNR NANO Modena

 Got a master degree in Materials Engineering and a PhD in Physics  at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia under the supervision of Elisa Molinari. In 2009-2011 he spent a joint postdoctoral appointment at MIT (MA,USA) and University of Oxford (UK) in the group of Nicola Marzari.
Since 2011 he is researcher at CNR-NANO (permanent since 2012). Andrea Ferretti works in the field of condensed-matter and solid-state physics, performing ab initio simulations at the DFT level and beyond.
Current research interests focus on the ab initio study of the electronic and transport properties of organic semiconductors and hybrid interfaces.

A list of topics includes:

• The interaction of large conjugated molecules
  with metal surfaces, including the development of effective methods to study
  the electronic and optical spectroscopies of such systems;
  
  
• Electronic structure and transport in nanoscale conductors: the role and
  the inclusion of correlation effects; theory and applications. 

Andrea Ferretti is developer of scientific software (WanT, Yambo, Quantum ESPRESSO) and author of 40 scientific publications in international and peer-reviewed scientific journals (with about 850 citations, h-index=17).
