Matteo Castagnola
Om
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) in Trondheim, working on the theoretical aspects of polaritonic chemistry.
I received my Master's degree from the University of Pisa in 2022 with a thesis on response theory for molecular polaritons (110/110 cum laude, thesis title "Ab initio response methods for entangled light-matter systems in the strong coupling regime")
I graduated at the Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS) in 2022 (100/100 cum laude).
I received my Bachelor's degree from the University of Pisa in 2020 with a thesis on the optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles (110/100 cum laude, thesis title: "Optical Response Properties of Metal Nanoparticles: Fully Atomistic Classical Model").
Forskning
I am pursuing a PhD working on the theoretical aspects of polaritonic chemistry.
My work focuses on the development of reliable quantum electrodynamics (QED) methods for molecular polaritons, with a focus on their electron-photon structure (ab initio QED). The methods are implemented in the eTprogram and find applications in the study of collective effects and cavity-modified electron or electron-photon interactions.
