Biography

Dr. Tommaso Casalini is a Chemical Engineer who devotes his research activity to the multiscale modeling of drug delivery devices and pharmaceutical formulations. He received his PhD in Industrial Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 2013; in 2014, he moved to ETH Zurich as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. Massimo Morbidelli. Since 2015, he was also a lecturer in the same institution. In 2016 he joined the University of Southern Switzerland for Applied Sciences and Arts as a researcher, and since 2019 he was a Senior Scientist in the group of Prof. Paolo Arosio at ETH Zurich. Starting from September 2021, Dr. Tommaso Casalini is an Associate Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca, Gothenburg.
The multiscale paradigm embraces a wide range of time and length scales and thus different computational techniques. In more detail, the synergy between molecular simulations (at both full atomistic and coarse-grained level) and conservation equations aims at characterizing potential candidates through in silico experiments from the molecular structure to their macroscopic behavior, in terms of crucial parameters such as drug release rate, mechanical properties or interactions with biological components.
The intrinsic versatility of this approach makes it suitable from explorative experimental campaigns to final product design.
