Micaela Matta

Dr Micaela Matta is a Lecturer in Computational Materials Chemistry at King’s College London. She obtained her Master’s and PhD at the University of Bologna, and held postdoctoral appointments at the University of Bordeaux and Northwestern University. She then joined the University of Liverpool as the awardee of a Royal Society Newton International Fellowship and a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship. Micaela’s research interests lie at the interface between bioinspired materials, organic electronics and bioelectronics. Her group leverages a range of computational techniques, from quantum chemistry to molecular dynamics simulations and cheminformatics, to design and characterise functional materials for biomedical applications and energy/information storage.
