Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichele Simoncelli is an Assistant Professor and condensed-matter physicist with nine years of research experience focused on quantum transport and its applications to energy and information technologies. Trained at EPFL and multiple leading European institutions, he blends atomistic simulation expertise with theoretical insight to predict and engineer nanoscale energy conversion and desalination processes. Previously a Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge and a postdoc at EPFL, he has a track record of translating deep theoretical work into experimentally relevant predictions (e.g., microscopic modeling of supercapacitors and capacitive mixing). Now based in New York at Columbia, he combines rigorous academic training with a practical bent—earlier in his career he even showcased engineering projects on national Italian TV—bringing rare communication skills to complex quantum-materials problems.
