Benedetta Mennucci
Benedetta Mennucci (born 1969) is an Italian theoretical chemist who is professor at the University of Pisa.[1][2] She is a developer of the Polarizable continuum model.[3]
Early life and education[edit]
Mennucci obtained her Laurea in Chemistry in 1994 and her Ph.D. award in Chemistry in 1999.[2] The PhD thesis had the title "Theoretical Models and Computational Applications of Molecular Phenomena Involving the Environment Effect".
Research and career[edit]
Benedetta Mennucci was appointed Full Professor of Physical Chemistry in 2012 at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pisa,[1] where she leads the MoLECoLab research group.[2]
She is Senior Editor for The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters,[4] member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Chemical Reviews,[5] Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation,[6] and Cell Reports Physical Science,[7] and member of the Editorial Board of Theoretical Chemistry Accounts.[8]
Her research focuses on the development of computational approaches which integrate quantum chemistry with classical models to describe processes of chemical and biological systems of increasing complexity. She is a main developer of the polarizable continuum model to predict solvent effects in computational chemistry.[3][9] In the last years, her main research activity has moved towards the development and the application of polarizable embedding QM/MM methods for modelling light-induced processes in proteins.[10] She is a contributor to the Gaussian (software) and she has co-authored more than 300 publications, including reviews and book chapters.[11] Mennucci is co-author of the book "Continuum Solvation Models in Chemical Physics: From Theory to Applications".[12]
Awards and honours[edit]
Mennucci is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science[13] and an elected board member of the World Association of Theoretical and Computational Chemists.[14] Mennucci is also listed on AcademiaNet.[citation needed]
