She holds a Master’s degree in Physics from the University of Salento and a postgraduate Master’s in Applied Artificial Intelligence. She is currently a PhD student at the University of Salento, School of Physics and Nanoscience, where she performs ab initio simulations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TDDFT) within the framework of polaritonic chemistry. This research area investigates how strong coupling between molecular electronic excitations and confined light modes can alter potential energy surfaces and influence chemical reactivity. Her work focuses on hybrid systems composed of molecular photoswitch, such as azobenzene, and small metallic clusters. She aims to explore ML-driven non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations as a future direction in quantum chemistry.
