Dr. Marcelo Carignano received his Ph.D. in Physics from the National University of La Plata, Argentina. His research experience covers the application of computational methods to elucidate detailed structural and dynamical properties of different systems, including polymers at interfaces, colloidal and polymeric gels, aqueous solutions and interfaces, molecular crystals and hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. He joined QEERI in 2012, after spending several years at different institutions in the United States.
