In 2022, I defended my doctoral thesis with honors entitled Computer Simulations of the self-assembly process of various molecules with diverse architecture on solid surfaces.

Currently, I am involved in the study of the interfacial behavior of water in either its liquid or crystalline forms. Another, a pretty similar topic concerns the study of the influence of confinement curvature on the behavior of patchy particles. All such investigations require the use of computer simulations in a broad sense. We exploit molecular dynamics or advanced sampling Monte Carlo methods and, in the future, aim to combine both methods.
