Our research is concerned with development and application of statistical-mechanical theories and molecular-simulation algorithms for predicting the structural and thermodynamic properties of complex fluids and biological systems. The molecular theories and computational methods will find broad applications to optimization of industrial processes, to design and synthesis of novel materials, and to development of novel therapeutic approaches. Current research is focused on colloidal processing of nanocomposites, DNA/RNA self-assembly and viral replication, nanocrystals formation, and the design and fabrication of antifouling surfaces and self-healing materials |
