Research interest
Molecular simulations of ions at aqueous interfaces, including interactions of ions with proteins and membranes, chemistry of aqueous aerosols, structure and dynamics of solvated electrons, etc. The aim is to understand at a molecular level ion specific effects for protein structure and dynamics, biomembranes, as well as for microdroplets of aqueous solutions.
