Auteur
Maurizio Persico received his Masters in Chemistry from the University of Pisa, Italy in 1976. He spent one year as a post-doc at the Freie Universität Berlin and was a Research Assistant at Scuola Normale Superiore from 1982 to 1987. In 1987 he became Associate Professor and in 2000 Full Professor, at the University of Pisa. His main research interest is in the theory and computational simulation of the dynamics of molecular excited states.
Giovanni Granucci graduated and obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Pisa in 1996. After postdoctoral work at the Ecole Normale Superieure and the CEA in Paris, he became a Research Assistant at the University of Pisa. His main research interest is in the computational study of molecular excited state dynamics. He is a co-author of circa 70 scientific publications.
