Michele Parrinello (born 7 September 1945) is an Italian physicist particularly known for his work in
Car–Parrinello method, first proposed in their seminal 1985 paper,[2] "Unified Approach for Molecular Dynamics and Density-Functional Theory".[3] They have continued to receive awards for this breakthrough, most recently the Dreyfus Prize in the Chemical Sciences[4] and the 2021 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry.[5]
Parrinello also co-authored highly cited publications on "polymorphic transitions in single crystals"[6] and "canonical sampling through velocity rescaling."[7]
Life and career
Michele Parrinello was born in
Benjamin Franklin Medal (Franklin Institute) in Chemistry.[5] As of 2023, he has received over 140,000 scientific citations and has an h-index of 162, which is one of the highest among all scientists. As of 2023, at the age of 78, there are still 6 PhD students working in his group.[10]
