In 1983, as a winner of a national wide selection run by the Italian Public Instruction Ministry, he entered the Physical Chemistry Institute of the University of Torino as a researcher working in the field of structural chemistry. In 1992, he was appointed to the Faculty of Science of the University of Torino as Associate Professor of structural chemistry after a national wide selection run by the Italian Public Instruction Ministry. In 2014 he got the national habilitation for full professorship in physical chemistry and was appointed full professor in Physical Chemistry in 2015. He has been working at the Chemistry Department IFM of the University of Torino (now Chemistry Department). PU is also active member of the Nanostructured Interfaces and Surfaces (NIS, hhtp://www.nis.unito.it) since its foundation. SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS General subjects: The scientific activity of PU is on the use of atomistic molecular modeling techniques to elucidate the physico-chemical features in a number of chemistry relevant problems. In the early days, PU used simulation to supplement structural data for molecular crystals in order to understand the role of packing forces on the molecular conformation of the isolated molecules. Since then, PU interests switched to the quantum mechanical simulation of adsorption process occurring at the oxide surfaces, as the result of an intense collaboration with the international recognized experimental group headed by A. Zecchina (University of Torino) involved in surface chemistry related problems. In particular, silica based and apatites materials were the subject of the modeling studies. A brief list of the PU interests is shown in the following . Molecular crystals: the work, together with D. Viterbo, adopted semiempirical and molecular mechanics methods to understand and supplement structural information from X-ray diffraction experiments carried out in our Department. The focus was on crystals of compounds of pharmaceutical interest. A relevant example of that work is on the electronic, conformational and structural characterization of the ascorbic acid crystal (Milanesio, M.; Bianchi, R.; Ugliengo, P.; Roetti, C.; Viterbo, D., Vitamin C at 120 K: experimental and theoretical study of the charge density. J. Mol. Struct. THEOCHEM 1997, 419, 139-154). More recently, a renewed interest in molecular crystals, stimulated the development of a dispersion corrected hybrid density functional (B3LYP-D*). The method provides accurate prediction of structure and thermochemistry of molecular crystals, as testified by the comparison with experiment and MP2 results (Maschio, L.; Civalleri, B.; Ugliengo, P.; Gavezzotti, A., Intermolecular Interaction Energies in Molecular Crystals: Comparison and Agreement of Localized Moller-Plesset 2, Dispersion-Corrected Density Functional, and Classical Empirical TwoBody Calculations. J. Phys. Chem. A 2011, 115 (41), 11179-11186). Silica: Silica is a ubiquitous material on Earth and has an outstanding number of technological applications. PU focused on the physico-chemical properties of their surfaces, for both amorphous and crystalline phases, including catalysts based on microporous acidic zeolites. As silica surfaces are reach in SiOH groups (silanols), PU characterized the H-bond interaction between silanols and with adsorbates. PU developed, together with Dr. A. Pedone (Modena University), a new force field (FFSiOH) predicting structure, energetics and dynamics of hydroxylated silica surfaces with high accuracy. PU proposes physically sound models of silica surfaces, starting from small cluster models up to realistic models of both amorphous and mesoporous silica through the adoption of the periodic approach. Two review papers summarized this kind of work (Sauer, J.; Ugliengo, P.; Garrone, E.; Saunders, V. R., Theoretical-Study of Van-Der-Waals Complexes at Surface Sites in Comparison with the Experiment. Chem. Rev. 1994, 94 (7), 2095-2160 and Rimola, A.; Costa, D.; Sodupe, M.; Lambert, J.-F.; Ugliengo, P., Silica Surface Features and Their Role in the Adsorption of Biomolecules: Computational Modeling and Experiments. Chem. Rev. 2013, 113 (6), 4216-4313). Recent work focused on the simulation of the ibuprofen in the context of both drug/excipient interaction and drug delivery by using realistic models of amorphous silica and MCM-41 mesoporous silica, respectively. In this context, PU stimulated the development of the massive parallel version of CRYSTAL code, in collaboration with Prof. R. Dovesi. Biomaterials: Hydroxyapatites (chemical composition Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) and its carbonated analogous are relevant as biomaterials being the main constituent of bones and teeth. PU focused on these biomaterials of ceramic nature, as a collaboration within a National project headed by Prof. Claudio Morterra and funded by the Italian Ministry of University (MIUR). The main target has been hydroxyapatite bulk and its most common surfaces. PU, together with Dr. A. Pedone (Modena University) developed a new force field apt to simulate the bulk and surfaces. The Hench’s bioglass (a glass with SiO2-CaO-Na2O-P2O5 composition) has also been the subject of intense investigation by classical molecular dynamics and B3LYP periodic calculations to predict its structure and vibrational spectrum. Further work focused on modelling the interaction of small biomolecules with the hydroxyapatite surfaces and to elucidate the role of pre-adsorbed water in the proteins folding/unfolding induced by the hydroxyapatite surfaces. A recent perspective of the field summarizes the main results (Corno, M.; Rimola, A.; Bolis, V.; Ugliengo, P., Hydroxyapatite as a key biomaterial: quantum-mechanical simulation of its surfaces in interaction with biomolecules. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2010, 12 (24), 6309-6329). Prebiotic and astrochemistry: PU recently collaborated with Dr. A. Rimola and Prof. M. Sodupe (Autonomous University of Barcelona) to simulate reactions relevant to prebiotic chemistry, in the context of origin of life. The focus was on the oligomerization of aminoacids induced by the catalytic role of aluminosilicate and silica oxides. Along the same line of interest, PU studied the interstellar dust particles (IDP water ice/olivines) in cold/hot molecular clouds, respectively (Rimola, A.; Sodupe, M.; Ugliengo, P., Aluminosilicate surfaces as promoters for peptide bond formation: An assessment of Bernal's hypothesis by ab initio methods. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129 (26), 8333-8344. Rimola, A.; Sodupe, M.; Ugliengo, P., Computational Study of Interstellar Glycine Formation Occurring at Radical Surfaces of Water-ice Dust Particles. Astrophys. J. 2012, 754 (1)). Hydrogen storage materials: PU has also been involved in a European project FLYHY (Local PI, Prof. Marcello Baricco) devoted to study the role of fluorine in modulating the thermodynamic properties of potentially interesting hydrides based on light cations. The key point was to use quantum mechanical calculations to explore a rather large dataset of potentially promising hydrides by modulating their thermochemistry properties as a function of the selected halogen (Corno, M.; Pinatel, E.; Ugliengo, P.; Baricco, M., A computational study on the effect of fluorine substitution in LiBH4. J. Alloys Compd. 2011, 509, S679-S683). BIBLIOMETRICS As a result of this scientific trajectory, PU co-authorship 208 papers on peer-reviewed international journals (with an ISI-WOK h-index of 43) and has given more than 50 talks in meetings, seminars and events of scientific interest. PU is also involved in public engagement activities.
