Introduction
I am a Research and development chemist currently working on the development of new polymer-based composite materials at Woodn Industries.
During its academic career, Pierpaolo's research interests were the modeling of tunneling splittings in molecular systems, the study of nuclear quantum effects, and the application of quantum computational tools to study chemically relevant stochastic processes.

The study of tunneling splitting is fundamental to get insight into the dynamics of a multitude of molecular systems. In this paper, a novel approach to the analysis of the ground-state tunneling splitting is presented and explicitly applied to one-dimensional systems. The isomorphism between the Fokker-Planck-Smoluchowski operator and the Born-Opp...
The theory of stochastic processes impacts both physical and social sciences. At the molecular scale, stochastic dynamics is ubiquitous because of thermal fluctuations. The Fokker-Plank-Smoluchowski equation models the time evolution of the probability density of selected degrees of freedom in the diffusive regime and it is a workhorse of physical...
Many processes in chemistry, physics, and biology depend on thermallyactivated events in which the system changes its state by surmounting anactivation barrier. Examples range from chemical reactions, protein folding,and nucleation events. Parameterized forms of the mean-field potential areoften employed in the stochastic modeling of activated proc...

The study of tunneling splitting is fundamental to get insight into the dynamics of a multitude of molecular systems. In this paper, a novel approach to the analysis of the ground-state tunneling splitting is presented and explicitly applied to one-dimensional systems, with the aim of benchmarking its applicability in the simplest case. The isomorp...
