Clotilde Cucinotta is an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London. Her research focuses on Quantum Mechanical Modelling of materials and Electrochemical (EC) processes at the nanoscale. Cucinotta's team develops new methodologies to simulate the operation of electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and sensors, addressing issues like EC corrosion and water splitting. She joined Imperial in 2018 after completing an independent fellowship funded by EPSRC. Prior to that, she worked at the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin, where she focused on electron transport problems in molecular junctions and the environmental stability of 2D materials. Her previous work at ETH Zurich involved pioneering molecular dynamics techniques to model chemical transformations and mass diffusion in solids and liquids. Cucinotta holds a master’s degree in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Messina and was awarded her PhD from the University of Modena. Her doctoral research concentrated on the theoretical modelling of self-assembly processes on semiconductor surfaces functionalized with organic molecules.
