Stefano BovinoStefano Bovino is Associate Professor in the Department of Astronomy, Universidad de Concepción, Chile, and head of the Astrochemistry group. His research focuses on astrochemistry, and is concerned with providing state-of- the-art models that allow comparison and a better interpretation of the observational data, employing them to perform 3D hydrodynamical simulations of different environments. He is co-developer of the astrochemistry package KROME, a widely used public tool to model chemistry and microphysics in hydrodynamical simulations. As an astrochemist, he is involved in where microphysics could be relevant like the ISM in galaxies, star formation in molecular clouds, and the transition between the first and second generation of stars where dust has played a crucial role.
