Research

Soft matter, Biological physics,
Statistical physics of fluctuating systems at the interface of condensed/soft matter physics, materials science, chemical physics, and biology:

• Semiflexible polymers and biological filaments:
  • Polymerization kinetics and force generation in the cytoskeleton
  • Unbinding, desorption, adsorption
  • Filament bundles and networks
  • Localization in random potentials
  • Active filament systems, gliding assays, interaction with molecular motors
  • Coupling of hydrolysis and polymerization
  • Novel simulation algorithms (event-chain Monte Carlo)
• Elastic shells, capsules, and polymer networks
  • Modelling and shape analysis of elastic capsules
  • Elastic instabilities: buckling and wrinkling
  • Elastic properties of semiflexible polymer networks
  • Capsules as microswimmers
• Wetting morphologies
• Crack propagation
• Surface growth, self-assembly
• Vortex matter in type-II/high-Tc superconductors
• Topological defects, plasticity
