Personal information

Biography

Manuela Mura is a Senior Lecturer at the university of Lincoln

In 2010, Manuela received a doctorate from the King’s College London, where she wrote a PhD thesis on “Theoretical characterisation of STM images of assemblies of flat organic molecules on metal surfaces” under the supervision of Prof Lev Kantorovitch. The work included collaboration with experimentalists from Nottingham, Oxford, Aarhus in Denmark and CAE Saclay in France.

Manuela is an expert in a variety of computer simulation techniques in Condensed Matter Physics, such as quantum mechanics ab initio tools to reproduce self-assembled supra-molecular assemblies on metallic and semiconducting surfaces and classical molecular dynamics tools to study the interaction of antimicrobial peptides with modelled lipid bilayer membrane.
