Research Interests
- Molecular simulation of complex fluids (liquid crystals, asphaltenes, polymers, etc.) adsorption and interfacial phenomena (activated carbons, nanotubes, colloids).
- Phase equilibria and thermophysical properties (VLE, supercritical fluids, etc.) bridging size scales from atomistic simulations to equation of state modelling (SAFT).
- Focus on application to engineering and environmental problems and high performance computing for engineering.
