瑪利亞·菲塔(Maria Fyta),她先在希臘克里特大學(xué)(University of Crete)攻讀物理學(xué)學(xué)位,在P.C.凱列雷斯(P.C.Kelires)的指導(dǎo)下獲得了固態(tài)和計(jì)算物理專業(yè)的碩士學(xué)位和博士學(xué)位。在研究生學(xué)習(xí)期間,她使用經(jīng)典和半經(jīng)驗(yàn)的計(jì)算方法,例如利用蒙特·卡洛(Monte Carlo)和緊束縛分子動(dòng),力學(xué)來(lái)研究納米結(jié)構(gòu)碳的穩(wěn)定性、彈性和機(jī)械性能。2005年,她作為E.卡西拉斯組的博士后研究員轉(zhuǎn)到哈佛大學(xué),從事與材料和生物物理學(xué)相關(guān)的項(xiàng)目研究,包括從材料中的缺陷到DNA的動(dòng)態(tài)和電子行為。2008年,她加入了慕尼黑工業(yè)大學(xué)(Technical University of Munich)的R.內(nèi)茨(R.Netz)小組,在那里她還是居里夫人的研究員。在這個(gè)小組中,她轉(zhuǎn)向了原子分子動(dòng)力學(xué)和原子力場(chǎng)的發(fā)展研究。2012年,她接受了德國(guó)斯圖加特大學(xué)(University of Stuttgart)的邀請(qǐng)。自2012年以來(lái),她一直隸屬于斯圖加特大學(xué)計(jì)算物理研究所。她的興趣涉及傳感設(shè)備的納米孔,化學(xué)修飾的納米結(jié)構(gòu),有缺陷的材料,自組裝單分子層,生物功能化材料等。
