Nicola Marzari (born in 1965) is an Italian scientist known for his contributions to computational materials science and condensed matter physics.[1][2]
Early life and education
[edit]Nicola Marzari received his "Laurea" degree in physics from the University of Trieste in 1992. He continued his academic journey at the University of Cambridge, where he earned a Ph.D. in physics in 1996.[3]
Academic and professional career
[edit]After completing his Ph.D., Marzari moved to the United States as a postdoctoral fellow at Rutgers University from 1996 to 1998. He then joined the Naval Research Laboratory and later Princeton University as a research scientist. In 2001, Marzari began his tenure at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was appointed as the AMAX Assistant Professor of Computational Materials Science. He was promoted to associate professor in 2005 and became the Toyota Chair of Materials Engineering in 2009.[4]
In 2010, Marzari transitioned to the University of Oxford, where he was the Statutory Professor of Materials Modelling and director of the Materials Modeling Laboratory.[5]
Contributions to Computational Materials Science
[edit]He is the director of the National Centre for Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. His research at EPFL focuses on the development and application of first-principles methods for the prediction and design of materials properties.[6]
