Felipe Fantuzzi has joined the SISC research group at the University of Kent, bringing expertise in computational quantum chemistry to the group.
Felipe was previously a postdoctoral researcher at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany (hosts: Prof. Dr. Holger Braunschweig; Prof. Dr. Bernd Engels). His research is based on the application and development of modern computational quantum chemistry methods to investigate the electronic structure, bonding situation, and mechanistic aspects of novel main-group and organometallic compounds. His motivation goes from fundamentals to applications in distinct fields, including metal and metal-free catalysis, small-molecule activation, bioactive and biomimetic compounds, materials science and optoelectronic devices, and astrochemistry. In December 2021, Felipe started his independent career as a lecturer at the University of Kent. Welcome to Felipe!
