Research Interest

"Scientific interests: − biological physics (protein folding, protein stretching, genetic networks, protein complexes such as virus capsids and cellulosome), − theoretical condensed matter physics (especially magnetism) − disordered systems (spin glasses, porous media, random magnetic fields), − physics of fluids at nanoscale (molecular dynamics, cellular automata, nanochannels, droplets) − growth processes, river networks, friction at the atomic level − self-organization of functionalized nanaoparticles and biosensors"
