Davide Luciano
About
I am a Ph.D. student in the group CAZyme Structure and Function in the Research Division of Biopolymer and Biomaterials at the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science. My main research interest is the application of classical and ab initio molecular simulation in studying enzymes' structures and functions and the interaction between biomolecules and carbohydrates.
My background is in biological sciences and theoretical chemistry. I gained a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in chemistry from the University of Turin Italy.
