Recently, we have outlined new concepts that enable an exciting class of materials, which we have coined “dynamically programmable electromechanical 2D materials”. This class of…
The conventional view of intracellular organization is focused on the cell’s use of membrane-bound, vesicle-like organelles to compartmentalize the cytoplasm. However, in addition to these…
We are interested in understanding and predicting morphologies which emerge during crystallization processes in organic thin films. To this end, we have developed a phase-field…
We are interested in understanding and predicting the spatio-temporal evolution of morphologies, deformation, and damage in multiphase, multicomponent materials for energy conversion and storage under…
One problem of long-standing interest to our group has to do with extending the time scales of atomic scale simulations. To this end, several years…
We have also worked on other soft matter systems, specifically, (1) self-organization and non-equilibrium dynamics in lipid bilayers, (2) molecular structure and properties of lipid…
