Biographical sketches of authors
Alessandro Curioni
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, Säumerstrasse 4, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (cur@zurich.ibm.com). After receiving a Ph.D. degree in chemistry from the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy, in 1996, Dr. Curioni joined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory as a permanent staff member in 1998. Starting with his thesis work on the application of theoretical chemistry methods to the study of organic conducting materials, his research has been devoted primarily to the development of ab initio computational methods and to their application to diverse issues in the chemistry of materials, such as fullerenes, aluminum oxide, and organic light-emitting devices. Dr. Curioni has recently extended the area of his interests to biology.
Wanda Andreoni
IBM Research, Zurich Research Laboratory, Säumerstrasse 4, 8803 Rüschlikon, Switzerland (and@zurich.ibm.com). After receiving a Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Rome, Italy, Dr. Andreoni continued her scientific career as a physicist and expert for computer simulations in physics and chemistry at academic and industrial institutions in Italy, France, the U.S.A., and Switzerland. She joined the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in 1986 as a permanent staff member. In 1994, she became project leader of the Computational Chemistry and Physics group, and has been manager of Computational Materials Science since 1995. Elected a member of the IBM Academy of Technology in 1999, Dr. Andreoni also serves as a member of the Deep Computing Council of the IBM Deep Computing Institute. Since she joined IBM, her research has focused on diverse frontier areas of chemistry and physics: metal and semiconductor clusters and surfaces, fullerene-based materials, organic light-emitting devices, metal oxides, and, more recently, biologically relevant systems.
