Biography
Luca Bertini, born in Erba (CO) on October 25, 1970, obtained laurea degree in Chemistry in 1996 at the department of physical chemistry and electrochemistry, University of Milan, under the supervision of Professor. Gabriele Morosi, with a thesis entitled "Optimization of wave functions with the Variational Monte Carlo method”. In 1999 he obtained his PhD in Chemical Sciences at the department of physical chemistry and electrochemistry of the University of Milan, under the supervision of Professor. Gabriel and Dr Morosi. Dario Bressanini with final thesis entitled "Variety of electronic structures and methods Quantistici Monte Carlo." During the PhD, he was visiting scholar for 10 months in the laboratory of Dr. David Ceperley (1998) at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign studying nitrogen clusters (N8 azacubane and N20 clusters) at quantum Monte Carlo level using the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) supercomputer facilities.
