Andrea Marini is the coordinator of the ab-initio Yambo project, head of the Division of Ultrafast Processes in Materials (FLASHit) of the CNR-ISM. He is mainly involved in the development of novel theoretical approaches and computational tools to describe the ground- and excited-state properties of complex materials. He is the founder of the YAMBO project, an interdisciplinary and international collaboration for the implementation of a unified tool for the simulation of excited-state properties from first principles.
He is now active mainly in the field of out-of-the-equilibrium phenomena. Former member of ETSF Scientific Steering Committee of ETSF he is now participating as node in the Materials at Exascale (MaX) and in the Nanoscience Foundries and Fine Analysis - Europe (NFFA) consortiums. He is author of 86 publications in international and peer-reviewed scientific journals (with about 4300 citations, h-index=34), and has 60 talks and seminars, 2 colloquiums.
