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.

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. 

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. 

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.
