Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavide Ceresoli is a Senior Researcher with 15 years of experience in computational materials science, combining ab-initio methods, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo and electromagnetic simulations to drive high-throughput materials discovery and crystal structure prediction. Based at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche after research fellowships at MIT and Oxford, he develops and maintains the GIPAW implementation in Quantum ESPRESSO and applies his coding fluency in Go, Julia, Fortran, C/C++ and Python to large-scale, parallel simulations (MPI/OpenMP/GPU). His work spans practical challenges from designing materials for water-splitting to low-CO2 cement and atomistic modelling of steel solidification, with notable expertise in computational NMR/EPR. An early programmer who started on a Commodore 64, he brings a rare blend of deep theoretical physics, hands-on code development and long-term commitment to open scientific software.
