Biography

My main field of research is transport phenomena. Transport of matter and energy are central in many everyday applications of physics. My research is basic research, but considering possible applications is an essential part of it. My focus of research has mostly been in dynamics of interfaces and transport phenomena in low-dimensional systems. My current research work is related to phenomena involving wetting and capillarity and continuum mechanics.

Research interests

My field of research is transport phenomena. Transport of matter and energy are central in many everyday applications of physics. My research is basic research, but considering possible applications is an essential part of it. Most recently the focus has been in transport in low-dimensional systems where, for example, applications can be related to molecular-level biology.
