Conducting polymers are a versatile class of materials with promising applications in biomedical electronics and energy/information storage. However, they have limitations in terms of biocompatibility and sustainability.

In this talk, I will provide an overview of our computational research activity encompassing melanin and bioinspired materials, presenting a potential solution to the above issues.

I will discuss

• the in silico design of novel bioinspired conducting materials;
• the development of computational approaches for bottom-up melanin characterization.
