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 topics include: (1) static and dynamic properties of magnetic liquids; (2) self-assembly, adsorption, and friction of amphiphilic and polymeric molecules at liquid-solid interfaces; (3) using molecular simulations to complement scattering and reflectivity experiments; (4) biomolecular self-assembly and biomineralisation.
