Luca Sironi is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Solid-State Modelling at Durham University, where he is currently involved in the Molecular Solid Solutions (MoSS) project in Prof. Aurora Cruz-Cabeza’s research group.

He obtained his PhD from Università degli Studi di Milano (Italy) under the supervision of Prof. Leonardo Lo Presti. During his doctoral studies, he contributed to the development of the MiCMoS software and applied molecular dynamics techniques to study pre-nucleation phenomena in molecular liquids. He also complemented his computational work with crystallisation experiments to determine nucleation rates.
