Michele Cascella

Michele Cascella got his PhD in Statistical and Biological Physics in 2004 at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste. After a postdoctoral experience at EPFL, in 2008, being awarded a Swiss National Science Foundation proessorship grant, he began his independent career as Assistant Professor at the University of Bern. Since 2016, he is Full Professor in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Oslo. His research is dedicated to the development and application of multi-scale and multi-resolution methods for biochemical systems in the condensed phase. Recent focus is on soft systems combining computer simulations with SAXS/SANS experiment, and in molecular modelling of main group organometallic compounds (Grignard reagents), using ab initio and machine learning approaches.
