Basile obtained his undergraduate and PhD degrees from EPFL in Lausanne, where he studied theoretical and computational chemistry and specialized in non-adiabatic dynamics. After his PhD, he spent time at both Stanford University with Prof. Todd Martinez (funded by a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation) and also at MPI-Halle working with Prof. Hardy Gross. He holds an EC-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship for a project entitled “NAMDIA”, which is designed to investigate first-principles Non-Adiabatic Molecular Dynamics of Intermediates in Atmospheric chemistry.
