Our research is geared toward the interface between physical chemistry, condensed matter physics, biology and biomedical sciences. Typically, we employ large scale computer simulations combined with analytical studies. Most of our projects are done in collaboration with experimental groups. Currently, we concentrate on problems related to multiscale modeling of biological systems, proteins, lipid membranes, pattern formation, and computational methods.
