Carla Molteni (born February 1966) is an Italian Professor of Physics at King's College London.
In 2003 Molteni was appointed a professor of soft matter physics at King's College London.
[10] She uses density functional theory and classical methods to understand systems such as grain boundaries, liquid crystals, polymers and proteins.
[11] Her group have used computational methods to evaluate the interactions of green tea with cardiac muscle and the growth of hexagonal ice.
[15] Understanding piezochromic effects is important to determine the potential of a material for applications such as stress sensors.
