(Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genoa, Italy) obtained a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Florence (Italy, 2001) and a Ph.D. from the International School for Advanced Studies (Trieste, Italy, 2005). His expertise is in applying ab initio and force field-based molecular dynamics simulations to investigate biological and organometallic systems. Pietro is particularly interested in elucidating enzymatic reactions mechanisms to advance the understanding and application of biocatalysis.
