Abstract
This special issue of Molecular Physics is dedicated to Giovanni Ciccotti on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Giovanni, a genuine Roman, was born in the ‘Eternal City’, studied and spent most of his academic career at Rome’s most ancient University, ‘La Sapienza’, where he is presently professore ordinario at the Department of Physics. He is regarded worldwide as one of the leading figures in statistical mechanics and simulation of equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of complex, classical and quantum mechanical many-body systems. Although he started off as an elementary particle physicist in the late 1960s, like many young scientists of his generation, he swiftly switched to statistical mechanics, a field in which he has thrived ever sinceI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
