Onofrio Annunziata is currently a professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Texas Christian University (TCU), Fort Worth, USA. He received an M.Sc. degree ("laurea", summa cum laude) in Industrial Chemistry at the "Federico II" University of Naples, Italy, in 1997. He then moved to Texas for an internship in the chemistry department at TCU and then joined their Ph.D. program under the supervision of Prof. John Albright. After receiving his chemistry Ph.D. in 2001, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Biophysics under the supervision of Prof. George Benedek at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA. In 2004, he joined TCU as an assistant professor. His general research interests are in macromolecules, colloids, biophysical chemistry, and thermodynamics and transport properties of liquid mixtures. His current research focuses on diffusiophoresis of polymers, proteins and micelles induced by concentration gradients of salts or osmolytes and phase transformations of protein solutions in the presence of salts, crowding agents and buffer components.
