研究领域

Theoretical

I explore the use of numerical simulations to predict the stability and rate of formation of self-assembling structures and materials. Such studies are relevant for the design of novel materials and for the understanding of the physical properties existing self-assembled structures. The main aspects of the research are Develop novel Monte Carlo techniques to predict the thermodynamic stability of complex structures (e.g. DNA-coated colloids (fig 1) ). Explore novel dynamical simulation techniques to predict the rate at which novel structures form from a meta-stable parent phase (e.g. crystal nucleation – fig 2). Quantify the disorder in granular packings.
