Brief introduction to Dr. Stefano Leoni:
Stefano Leoni obtained his PhD from ETH Zürich with a thesis on periodic surfaces, working with Reinhard Nesper. In 2000 he joined the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden as a postdoctoral associate, followed by an Advanced Research Fellowship of the Swiss National Science Foundation. In 2009 he received the Venia Legendi for inorganic chemistry at Dresden University of Technology, where from 2010 he was lecturer and leader of an externally founded research group. In 2013 he received an Heisenberg Stipendium of the DFG. He is currently Reader (Associate Professor) in computational and inorganic chemistry at the University of Cardiff UK, and Adjunct Professor at the University of Berne. His interests span the broad field of computational material sciences.
