We focus on how ions balance the charge of solid surfaces and on the influence of interfacial fluid properties on nanofluidic transport.
We study the coupling between reactions and transport near an electrode surface.
We investigate the various possible non-photochemical mechanisms behind laster induced nucleation.
We relate the structure and permeability of multicomponent lipid bilayers its composition. The balance between headgroup packing and tail attraction proves a key factor determining various bilayer properties. We also study nanofluidic ion-exchange membranes.
Equilibrium and non-equilibrium transport coefficients are studies by means of molecular dynamics simulation and theoretical modeling.
Nanoconfinement induced local variation in fluid properties such as density and pressure. As local fluid properties and fluid-solid slip becomes important, conventional continuum fluid dynamics treatment may no longer be accurate.
