Alessandro graduated in Chemical Engineering in 2002 from the University of Palermo and obtained his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 2007 at the University Rovira i Virgili. From 2007 to 2010, he was postdoctoral research associate at the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science at Utrecht University. In 2010, he was awarded a Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral fellowship to work at the Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) in Barcelona. Between 2014 and 2022, Alessandro has been Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Manchester. He is currently Maria Zambrano Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Applied Physics, The University of Granada and member of the Statistical Physics group at the Carlos I Institute of Theoretical and Computational Physics.

Adrián graduated in Chemistry at the University of Huelva in 2022 and obtained a Master in Molecular Simulation from the International University of Andalucía in 2023. He joined the group in March 2023 to investigate the phase behaviour of board-like molecules by Molecular Dynamics. His project is funded by the Government of Andalusia (Junta de Andalucía).

Daniel studied nanoscience and nanotechnology at Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and obtained a master in Atomistic and Multiscale Computational Modelization from the University of Barcelona (UB). Daniel joined the group to investigate polymer nanocomposites through Dissipative Particles Simulations. His research is sponsored by the U. S. Army Research Office.

Álvaro is a Year-4 undergraduate student in Physics at the University of Granada. His research project focusses on the response of electrorheological fluids of rod-like particles to electric fields by molecular dynamics. 

Iván graduated in Physics and Advanced Technology in 2011 from the Autonomous University of Hidalgo, México and obtained his Master and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Guanajuato, in 2014 and 2018. He has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid, in the project “Study of properties of water and NaCl solution at low temperatures using the Madrid model” (funded by CONACYT) in the group of Prof. Carlos Vega. Afterwards, he carried out a second postdoctoral research from 2021 to 2024 at the University of Huelva in the group of Prof. Felipe J. Blas on “Phase equilibrium, nucleation, and dynamical properties of hydrates and clathrates under advanced techniques of molecular simulation”. His research and skills have focused primarily on molecular simulations to study, model and predict thermodynamical properties of simple and complex systems. 

Adri studied Physics at UGR and obtained a master in theoretical physics at the University of Salamanca. After his master, Adri joined the Biocolloid and Fluid Physics group at UGR to work on the theory of uptake and release dynamics of drugs inside microgels. He is investigating the effect of nanoparticles on the properties of polymer nanocomposites. His research is sponsored by the U. S. Army Research Office. 

Daniela is a physicist who graduated from the University of Guanajuato (UGTO), México in 2018. She completed a master's degree in physics at the same institution and carried out her thesis project during a stay at the University of Manchester in the study of self-diffusion coefficients of liquid crystal phases using dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, under the supervision of Dr. Alejandro Gil-Villegas (UGTO) and Dr. Alessandro Patti (UoM). Since 2020, Daniela has been a doctoral student at UG and continuing her research project (funded by CONACyT) in collaboration with the Multiscale Modelling Group (Dr. Alessandro Patti) on the study of the dynamic properties of colloidal liquid crystals.
