Alessandro Paciaroni is currently a Associate Professor of physics of matter. He received his Master’s Degree in Physics with first class honors in 1993, and the Ph. D. degree in Physics in 1996 at the University of Perugia (Italy). After two years of postdoctoral research, where he combined neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation to study the dynamical properties of protein hydration water, he moved to Grenoble (France), where he became a researcher for the CNR at the international neutron source Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL). In 2001, he returned to Perugia to join the Department of Physics, where he was first appointed as a researcher and then, in 2014, as Associate Professor. He is currently head of the “Physics of DNA and Biomolecules” molecules at the Physics and Geology Department of the University of Perugia. Since 2004, he has been a member of the teaching board of the PhD in physics. His research interests include the dynamics of proteins; protein hydration water; the relationship with biological functionality, which is the role of the molecular environment and crowding for bioprotection; the collective dynamics of proteins, DNA, and biological water in the terahertz range; secondary structure of DNA G-quadruplexes and complexation with anticancer drugs; and structure of macromolecules in hydrogels. The recurring theme in the research lines mentioned above is the use of the advanced neutron scattering (NS) technique.
