Stefano Corni is full professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Padova, Italy, since 2017; he is also associated researcher at the CNR Institute of Nanoscience, Modena (Italy). After the PhD in Chemistry from Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (Italy) in 2003, he joined the National Research Center on nanoStructures and bioSystems at Surfaces (now CNR Institute of Nanoscience) in Modena, first as a post-doc and then as a tenure-track researcher (with tenure in 2009). He has been visiting scientist at ETH/USI Lugano (2014), and at RMIT Melbourne (2016). He has been partner PI in various EU grants, and coordinated the ERC Consolidator grant TAME-Plasmons (a Theoretical Chemistry approach to time-resolved molecular plasmonics). His research interests also involve the modeling of the interaction between biomolecules with inorganic nanostructures and the use of quantum computers in Chemistry.
