Mauro Chinappi obtained a master degree in Aerospace Engineering (2004) and a PhD in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (2018) at Sapienza, University of Rome. During the first part of his carrier, his main interest was in theoretical nanofluidics. He mainly employed molecular dynamics simulations to study fluid transport at nanoscale. In parallel, he started to approach biophysical problems such as protein transport through nanopores. The interest for biology brought him to move to the Department of Biochemical Science joining the Biocomputing group of Prof. Anna Tramontano (2010) where he worked on drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum, the Malaria parasite) and analysis of mRNA-microRNA interaction potentially involved in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Then, Mauro Chinappi worked at the Center for Line Nano Science at Italian Institute of Technologies (2012-2016) on the design of micro and nanofluidics devices for biomedical analysis. In 2016, he had a tenure-track appointment at the University of Rome Tor Vergata and from 2019 he is an associate professor in fluid dynamics. His current research activity is mainly focused on transport phenomena at nanoscale, nanopore sensing and electroosmotic flows.
