Research Interest
Linear and branched polymer molecules in solution are highly flexible and the prediction of their average conformations using statistical mechanical models is a challenging task. The large-scale properties can be captured in lattice models, and these have two advantages. They can be treated, to some extent, by rigorous combinatorial methods, and also investigated numerically using both Monte Carlo methods and exact enumeration and series analysis approaches. Our group is active in each of these areas.
