Topological bio- and soft matter is becoming a vibrant area of research attracting scientists from a broad range of disciplines. The last years have witnessed remarkable advances in our understanding of the emergence and consequences of topological constraints in bio- and soft matter. Examples are abundant and cover seemingly distant topics, ranging from knotted proteins …

Carbon dioxide dissociation through anharmonic vibrational energy transfer
LM thesis proposal Supervisors: Raffaello Potestio (raffaello.potestio@unitn.it) & Paolo Tosi (paolo.tosi@unitn.it) CO2 dissociation is a topic of growing interest, also because of its possible applications to solve energetic and environmental problems. The CO2 –> CO + O reaction can be initiated by the electronic impact excitation of CO2 into a dissociative state, producing CO or …

Sequence-property relation of lattice polymers studied through the zeroes of the partition function
LM thesis proposal Supervisor: Raffaello Potestio (raffaello.potestio@unitn.it) In spite of their simplicity, lattice models of polymers are capable of providing a substantial qualitative and even quantitative insight in the physics of real polymeric macromolecules. A still open problem is the design of polymers featuring desired characteristics, that is, to define a sequence of monomers with …
