| Research interest |
|
Molecular simulations of aqueous and soft organic interfaces, in particular those of atmospheric and environmental relevance. The aim is to gain molecular-level understanding of the fundamental interactions governing the physics and chemistry of interfacial processes, which is critical for a more comprehensive assessment of their effects on air and water quality, global climate, ecosystems and public health.
