Giorgio Visentin graduated in Photochemistry and Molecular Materials in October, 20th,2017 from “Alma Mater Studiorum” University of Bologna and was admitted to Skoltech PhD in Physical Chemistry (track: Material Science and Engineering) on November, 1st, 2017. His PhD thesis regards devising accurate ab initio approaches to describe atom-atom and ion-atom Van der Waals interaction. Up to date, he published the following articles:
1) G. Visentin and A.A. Buchachenko, Polarizabilities, dispersion coefficients and retardation functions at the complete basis set CCSD limit: Be-Ba and Yb, J. Chem. Phys. 151, 214302 (2019); doi: 10.1063/1.5129583;

3) G. Visentin, I.S. Kalinina and A.A. Buchachenko, Extended combination rule for like-atom dipole dispersion coefficients, J. Chem. Phys. 153, 064110 (2020); doi: 10.1063/5.0019010.
Giorgio is now working on devising a new state-of-the-art potential for the Van der Waals Yb2 dimer, for applications to ultracold physics (e.g. Photoassociation Spectroscopy, Ultracold Scattering experiments).
