Statistical Mechanics for Chemical Thermodynamics and Kinetics

About Andrea AmadeiMassimiliano Aschi

Andrea Amadei is Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemical Sciences and Technology University of Rome Tor Vergata Italy. In 1998 he received his PhD degree at the University of Groningen (NL) under the supervision of Prof. H.J.C. Berendsen. After a post-doctoral period at the University of Rome La Sapienza in 2000 he obtained a permanent position at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. Andrea Amadei teaches theoretical chemistry for Chemistry master and PhD students and his research activity is devoted to the theoretical-computational study of complex atomic-molecular systems (ranging from liquids and solutions to biological macromolecules). His research aims to rationalize and characterize both classical and quantum mechanical processes and involve the development of original theoretical models and computational methods. Massimiliano Aschi is Full Professor of Chemistry at the Department of Physical and Chemical Sciences University of L'Aquila Italy. He received his Chemistry degree and Ph.D. degree in chemical sciences from the University of Rome La Sapienza Rome Italy in 1992 and 1996 respectively. In 1997 he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Technical University of Berlin Germany. In 1998 he was with the Department of Chemistry University of Perugia Italy. From 1999 to 2001 he was with the Department of Chemistry University of Rome La Sapienza. Andrea Amadei and Massimiliano Aschi authored two chapters in books:  1) A. Amadei M. Aschi A. Di Nola.
