RESEARCH INTERESTS
* Materials modelling of bio/nano interfaces, principally at the molecular level, to make connections between molecular scale details and macroscopic properties.
* Development of efficient molecular simulation approaches for the meaningful study of self-assembly of large biomolecules and their structure-function relationships.
* Application of these approaches to investigate problems ranging from the directed biomolecule-mediated assembly of inorganic nanoparticles, through to modeling the mechanical response of keratin fibres in skin in the presence of molecular additives.
