Research activity:
The main research topic of Valentina Migliorati is the investigation of the structural and dynamic properties of disordered and complex systems by means of novel integrated approaches that combines Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and several experimental techniques, such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction.
Her scientific interests encompass several fields of Physical Chemistry, such as the development of classical force fields by using ab initio calculations, the study of aqueous solutions of metal, lanthanide and halide ions by means of either Classical or ab initio MD simulations in combination with XAS experimental data, and the investigation of the solvation properties of metal ions in organic solvents. Moreover, she dedicated herself to the study of pure ionic liquids and of ionic liquid/water mixtures by using MD simulations in combination with either XAS spectroscopy or X-ray diffraction.
