Attività di Ricerca :

The main interest is the field of the Crystallographic Methodologies Development.
In details, the following arguments have been handled:
a) Direct Methods applied to the crystal structure solution using single crystal and powder data.
b) Solution and refinement of crystal structures using Electron Diffraction data.
c) Methods for the the solution of macromolecules.
d) Methods for the the solution of the substructure using MAD/SAD data.
e) Molecular Replacement techniques.
The developed algorithms have been implemented in scientific software for the automatic solution of crystal structures using single crystal data (Sir2002, Sir2004, IlMilione) and powder data (Expo). This software is user friendly, freely distributed to the scientific community and it is used in hundreds of labs all over the world.
The research carried out on new theories and related applications produced about 50 papers in international journals.
