Personal Information:
Dr. Derosa undergraduate degree is Licenciado in Physics and equates to a B.S.
plus a M.S. in physics and was obtained from the National University of
Córdoba in Argentina. He also has a
PhD in Physics from the University of Córdoba. He conducted postdoctoral research at the
University of South Carolina and became a Joint Faculty between Louisiana
Tech University and Grambling State University in 2004.
Research Interest
Dr. Derosa’s
group main interest is the multiscale modeling of
organic conductors.
A hopping model is used to describe
conductivity in polymer but parameters necessary at this scale are obtained
from calculations at smaller scales.
He is currently extending his research into nanocomposites.
Another area of research is
diffusion at the nanoscale, particularly
molecular diffusion in nanotubes, this research
has applications in drug delivery and anticorrosion additive among others.
