Research expertise: the development and application of molecular simulations and statistical mechanics to the study of condensed materials such as liquids, solids, and colloidal suspensions. Current research topics include:

• static and dynamic properties of magnetic liquids;
• self-assembly, adsorption, and friction of amphiphilic and polymeric molecules at liquid-solid interfaces;
• using molecular simulations to complement scattering and reflectivity experiments;
• thermal properties of complex fluids;
• biomolecular self-assembly and biomineralisation.
