Mose Casalegno

Associate Professor,Politecnico Milano,Italy

Mosè Casalegno, brief resumee Born August 1st 1973 in Salerno, Mosè Casalegno graduated in Chemistry in 1998, at the University of Milan (Department of Physical Chemistry). The next year, he joined the research group of Prof. Gabriele Morosi, where started his PhD. His studies focused on the application of the Quantum Monte Carlo method to weakly bound bosonic and fermionic systems. During his PhD, Mosè Casalegno has been visiting the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, working in Prof. Andrew Rappe's research group (30 July 2000 – 30 May 2001).

Once back in Italy, he earned his PhD degree (25 January 2002). Then, he joined again Prof. Morosi's group in Como as post-doc researcher. Since January 2003, Dr Casalegno has been responsible for the European projects (FP5/FP6 frameworks) in the area of grid computing, chemistry, and computational toxicology at the Mario Negri Institute. There, he started a collaboration with Dr. Guido Sello from the Department of Organic Chemistry (University of Milan). He joined Prof. Guido Raos' research group at Politecnico di Milano in 2009. There, he has been appointed as teaching assistant at first year courses run by Prof. Stefano V. Meille. In 2019, he was appointed as senior researcher in Chemistry, at the Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering Department “G. Natta”, and Associate Professor in November 2022. His research activity primarily focuses on the application of numerical methods to the development and modeling of materials for organic electronic applications. Parallel lines of research focus on the analysis of NMR diffusion data in soft systems for drug delivery, and the effects of organic pollutants on biological systems.
