Personal profile

Research interests

My research lies in the fields of statistical and condensed matter physics and, in particular, theory of the liquid state. Current interests include :i) fluid interfacial phenomena, especially the physics of adsorption, with emphasis on surface phase transitions such as wetting and drying, their criticality and how this relates to solvophobicity/hydrophobicity, ii) structure and phase behaviour of liquids under nano and mesoscale confinement, iii) theory of nucleation and iv) deriving and applying simple models of colloidal suspensions. I also investigate the connections between classical and quantum (electronic) density functional theory (DFT), a technique that forms a cornerstone of many body physics.
