PRESENT POSITION


I am an employee of the University of Amsterdam with dues in assisting teaching and research. I conduct my own research under the supervision of Dr. P. G. Bolhuis and Prof. Dr. B. Smit in the field of computer simulations in Physics and Chemistry. My job is to improve a technique used in simulation of rare events such as unlikely conformational rearrangements of molecules. I am also still working with my former supervisor in Rome, Dr. A. Giansanti, on the theory of Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics.
