Without the public funding this research would be impossible.

We employ Molecular Modeling to answer questions in soft matter in the frontier of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Research interests includes (but are not limited to):

• Water, it’s anomalies and unique behavior;
• Nanofluidics;
• Polymorphic and polyamorphic substances and materials;
• Nanomaterials: assembly and applications;
• Physics of Cancer;
• Diffusion in biological systems;
• Soft Colloids and Nanoparticles;
• Complex fluids.
