MathematicsAreas of interest
Theoretical modelling and multiscale computer simulations of equilibrium and non-equilibrium structural, dynamic and rheological behaviours of polymeric and soft matter systems in the remits of mathematical, physical and material sciences and engineering, sustainable environment, health-care and food science, as well as mathematical modelling of cold supply chains and climate change, together with development of related computational and theoretical methodologies.
Research interests include but not limited to:
- Entangled linear and branched polymers
- Charged polymers, including biopolymers
- Supramolecular (associative) polymer networks and self-oscillating hydrogels
- Dipolar colloidal suspensions, including electro- and magneto-rheological (ER and MR) fluids and ferrofluids
- Micellization of amphiphilic molecules, such as surfactants, lipopeptides and block copolymers
- Antimicrobial peptides, such as feature selections using machine-learning methods
- Food systems, from structural and rheological properties to supply chains
- Mathematical modelling of cold supply chains
- Slow dynamics and rare events in complex fluids and climate change
- Computational and theoretical methodologies, such as atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo and hybrid MD/MC algorithms, machine learning, statistical sampling methods, dynamical systems and control theory, scaling theory, tube theory, first passage time problems, Ewald summation, first-principle electronic structure calculation, etc
