Letizia Chiodo is Associate Professor in Theoretical Physics of Matter (PHYS-04, previously FIS/03).

Research topics: theoretical-computational material science, from solid state physics to biophysics, with expertise is atomistic modelling methods, including electronic structure methods, for ground and excited states (DFT, TDDFT, beyond-DFT many body perturbation theory-MBPT methods), and quantum and classical molecular dynamics, with standard and advanced sampling methods. Expert in metals and metal oxides, surfaces, interfaces and nanostructures. Working at modeling of proteins and of lncRNAs with classical MD and bioinformatic structural methods.

PI of the projects PRIN2022 CoNverSion, and PRISM. Co-PI of the project PRIN2022 PNRR RNA2Fun.

Since 2010, scientific host of the HPC-Europa mobility program. Member of SIBPA, GNFM-INdAM, and ETSF (European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility) Steering Committee member. Author of 3 book chapters and more than 50 publications on peer-reviewed international journals (2200 citations, h-index=16, source Scopus. Full list of publications on scholar.google or Scopus).
