Edoardo Di Napoli was the recipient of the prestigious Fulbright fellowship which lead him to pursue his graduate studies in the USA where he was awarded his Ph.D. in Physics in August 2005 by the University of Texas at Austin working in the team of the Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg.

 

In 2011 he was the recipient of the WolkswagenStiftung fellowship “Computational Science” and started working at the Forschungszentrum Juelich.

 

Dr. Di Napoli interests range from mathematical modeling to numerical linear algebra and computational physics with a special focus of enabling high-performance large scale quantum mechanical simulations. In HANAMI Dr. Di Napoli co-leads the Work Package 6 which is focused on the development of new numerical methods for the simulation of materials on massively parallel platforms.
