after undergraduate studies at the University La Sapienza, Roma (Italy), she graduated from the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne-Switzerland (1979). This was followed by a postdoctoral position at IBM T.J.Watson Research Center, in Yorktown Heights (1980-1982). She has been Assistant Professor at the University La Sapienza in Roma (1982-1988), Associate Professor at the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy (1988-1995), and Associate Professor at the University of Geneva, Switzerland (1996-1999). In 1999 she joined the Dept of Chemistry of Princeton University, initially as Senior Research Staff and Lecturer, and next as Associate Professor (since 2002). Her research interests are in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics and chemistry, with particular focus on the use of first principles electronic structure and molecular dynamics methods to obtain an atomic scale understanding of the structural and electronic properties of surfaces and interfaces, including organic-inorganic and solid-liquid interfaces, surface reactions and catalysis, photochemistry and photocatalysis. Prof. Selloni has over 160 publications in the area of theoretical / computational chemical physics. She is part of the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Chemical Physics and Surface Science.
is a research associate in the Department of Chemistry since June 2004. He received his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics (1998) from Physics Department, Fudan University, China. Then, he spent two years as a postdoc in Chemistry Department of Fudan University. In 2001, he joined Prof. Scheffler's group at Fritz-Haber-Institut der MPG in Berlin as an AvH fellow. His research interest is the electronic properties of surface and cluster by DFT calculations. At present he is studing the electronic properties of metallic contacts using DFT calculations.

Yosuke Kanai
is a graduate student in the
Department of Chemistry. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry
from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 2001, and
began working with
Prof. Annabella Selloni and Prof. Roberto Car in 2002.
He is interested in microscopic understandings of chemical reactions
in general. His thesis work aims to understand molecular reactions on
semiconductor surfaces, especially of Silicon.
On the methodological side, he is interested in numerical methods
of locating transition pathways.
He has worked on integrating
the "String method" within
Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics for finding chemical
reaction pathways.
