In the Computational Soft Matter group we work at the intersection of chemistry, biology, physics, and materials science, leveraging tools from statistical mechanics, continuum descriptions and high-performance computing.

Our goal is to understand the fundamental principles of the collective phenomena leading to controlled assembly and self-organization in soft matter, including biological materials.
