I’m Vincenzo Di Florio, a physicist driven by the challenge of bridging theoretical models and computational innovation.
I hold a Master’s degree in Physics of Complex Systems and a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics, combining analytical rigor, numerical modeling, and physical intuition.

Current Role

I’m a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at
MOX – Modeling and Scientific Computing, Politecnico di Milano
and affiliated with the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT).

My work lies at the intersection of physics, computation, and applied mathematics, with a focus on developing solvers and models for complex physical systems.

Research Focus

  • Electrostatics of macromolecules and proteins in electrolytic environments
  • Non-equilibrium thermodynamics and complex system modeling
  • NextGenPB – a computational solver for biomolecular electrostatics based on the Poisson–Boltzmann Equation, featuring analytical refinement and high-resolution accuracy
  • Integration of C++, Python, and MATLAB-like workflows for scientific computing

Beyond Academia

I am passionate about transforming theoretical insights into scalable and robust computational tools.
My research aims to connect analytical theory and high-performance computation, fostering collaborations where physics meets computation and ideas become algorithms.
