Soft matter and biophysics
Research
Using computer simulation and numerical self-consistent field theory we study the statistical physics of soft matter with special focus on polymer physics, interfacial and wetting phenomena, and biologically motivated problems.Interests:
- polymer solutions and melts
- collective phenomena in membranes and self-assembly
- kinetics of phase transitions
- wetting and phase diagrams in confined geometry
- computer simulation methodology (calculating free energies in Monte Carlo simulations and efficient equilibration methods)
- numerical self-consistent field theory
