Research Description:

We use the tools of statistical mechanics to solve equilibrium and nonequilibrium problems in condensed complex systems such as: Transport in membrane and zeolite channels, Static and dynamic properties of suspensions of highly charged colloidal particles, Correlations and conformations in polymer-coated colloids, Surface Texturing in Polymer Extrudates, Dynamics in critical fluids far from equilibrium, and Energy-Transfer. For a more complete description of our research, have a look at my web page here.
