- Profile

My research interests involve the study of soft and biological matter using techniques of equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics, continuum mechanics (including classical field theories) and coarse-grained simulations.
My primary scientific goal involves understanding the interplay of geometry, mechanics, entropy, and charge in dictating physical properties of complex adaptive matter.
I have used these techniques to understand 鈥渞heological chaos鈥 in wormlike micelles, study ribbon curling under elastoplastic deformations, unravel mechanics of DNA proteins and other biopolymers.
My most recent interest is on studying migration of small molecules in complex mixtures.
At present I have openings for two PhD studentships and two PDRAs. My current PhD student (Mr. Salvatore Croce) is finishing up his PhD from Durham 小欧视频.
