Sara Angelico - NTNU

About

I am a PhD student working in the Quantum Chemistry group. My supervisor is prof. Henrik Koch. My PhD project focuses on the development of methods to study nonadiabatic dynamics in polaritonic chemistry.

I graduated in 2022 at the University of Pisa with a master's thesis on the different approaches to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in polaritonic chemistry.

In 2021, I spent three months at NTNU as an Erasmus+ Intern working on my master's thesis.

I got my bachelor's degree in 2020 at the University of Pisa with a thesis on the combination of Frozen Density Embedding and the Fluctuating Charges models.

During my university years, I was also a student at Scuola Normale Superiore, from which I graduated in 2022.
