I conduct research in the field of computer simulations based on classical, quantum mechanical and multiscale methods applied to the study of inorganic materials, organic molecular crystals and nanomaterials for applications in the field of nano medicine, nanoelectronics, energy conversion and confinement of radioactive waste. I am interested in computational spectroscopy in general, i.e. development of protocols and codes for the simulation of solid state NMR spectra, computation of NMR and EPR parameters of organic radicals embedded in different environments and hydrid organic-metal nanoparticles, simulation of UV-Vis spectra of dye molecules.

The scientific activity of Dr. Pedone and its leadership in the field of theoretical/computational chemistry is witnessed by the large number of contributions to the most important scientific journals in chemistry, with special reference to chemical physics, theoretical chemistry and material chemistry.

He has co-authored more than 92 papers published in international journals and seven book chapters. Moreover, he has delivered more than 21 invited lectures in Italian and foreign institutions.

His papers have received over 2011 citations on the Scopus database (over 2417 in Google Scholar citations) and he has h-index = 29 (31, google scholar citations).
