Biography
After completing a PhD at the University of Alcalá, Madrid (Spain) in 2013, Marco Marazzi was a Humboldt Fellow at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany). Starting from 2015, he is a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and at the University of Lorraine in Nancy (France). Always interested in photoinduced processes of biologically relevant systems, he studied especially organic molecular switches applied to peptide conformational changes, channelrhodopsin as an optogenetic tool, and DNA photosensitization via Type I and II processes. His expertise covers a broad range of modeling techniques.
