🇮🇹 Just back from an intensive Erasmus+ Staff Mobility at the Università della Calabria in Cosenza, Italy.

Incredible opportunity to reunite with Prof. Nino Russo – nearly 5 years after my PhD student visit in 2021!

The results? We’ve already outlined four new joint research papers that will launch soon. Major step forward in our Polish-Italian scientific collaboration. 🚀

New paper in JCIM:
GPU-accelerated ab initio ESP calculations in QUICK + a reweighted RESP (rwRESP) scheme for robust, grid density–independent charge fitting.

Dense molecular grids eliminate orientation dependence in ESP charge derivation. rwRESP removes grid sensitivity and is now integrated into AmberTools.

Open-source and reproducible.

Researchers create a never-before-seen molecule and prove its exotic nature with quantum computing

For quantum computing, it is a concrete demonstration of a quantum simulation doing what it was designed to do

Porous materials aren't just known as high-surface-area materials. They are also known for their unique geometrical features, topological features, and their thermodynamics.
This account explores computational & ML-driven discovery in porous frameworks:
Porous materials deserve better ML
