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.
My background in research is in theoretical physics of interfaces and microscopic and continuum models of various transport phenomena at interfaces. My published work includes studies of ideal and rough solid surfaces, diffusion in thin films, phase transitions, disordered systems, droplet spreading, capillary rise, thermal conductivity, mass transport, front propagation including pinning, and van der Waals interactions. I have a wide experience in techniques for deterministic, stochastic and combined simulations.
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.
