Research Interest

Primary research goal is to obtain a deeper understanding about the multiscale bulk/interfacial properties of the soft matter system including polymers, foams, colloids etc. using computational techniques, particularly in

• Thermodynamic transition & kinetic behavior of polymer system with complex topology or sequences

• Self-assembly mechanisms of the amphiphilic molecules especially on the self-assembly pathway and the formation of metastable structure

• The equilibrium and non-equilibrium property of associated polymer system

• Complex polymer reactions

• Advanced manufacturing

• Interfacial property of polymer material with reaction

• Material degradation

• Ionizable polymers.
