Giovanni Bussi

During the Ph. D. his research was focused on the ab initio computation of optical properties in low-dimensional systems. Afterward he started working in the field of computer simulation of molecular systems, with a special focus on rare events and biological problems. Since September 2009 he is in SISSA, where he does molecular simulations of nucleic acids.

Bussi's research is now strongly focused on developing new techniques for molecular dynamics and applying them to the characterization of protein-RNA interactions and of conformational transitions in non-coding RNAs. This activities are funded by a European grant. Besides this, he is one of the developers of the software plugin plumed.
