Dr Paola Carbone - personal details

Paola is a RCUK fellow in the Molecular Modelling, Simulation and Design within the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science.

Paola obtained her degree in Chemistry at the University of Genoa (Italy). Shortly after her MSc in chemistry she was awarded a two-years post-graduate fellowship where she widened her interest in statistical mechanics of polymeric materials. She obtained her PhD in Material Science in Milan in 2004 with a thesis on the prediction and interpretation of 13C NMR spectra of copolymers using a combination of quantum chemical calculations and conformational analysis (RIS theory). In 2004 she moved to the University of Bologna where she was involved in a new research line in the framework of an EU project for the hydrogen storage in dedrimeric materials.

In 2006 Paola was awarded a fellowship from the Humboldt Foundation and joined the group of Prof. Mueller-Plathe in Darmstadt. There she extended her experties toward the multiscale simulations of macromolecules.

From September 2008 she is RCUK fellow in the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science in the University of Manchester.
