Our group is exploring the connection between soft matter physics and biology. We’re using computer simulations and theoretical models to understand how things work in biological cells and tissues, from tiny molecules to larger cell structures. Our focus areas include looking at the structure and function of proteins in cell membranes, understanding the properties of soft matter in living things, and investigating how certain peptides help deliver drugs into cells. We’re also studying electrolytes, especially in the context of lithium-ion batteries, to figure out how ions move and design better materials for energy storage.
Afira’s manuscript, “Computational insights and phase transition of ruthenium alloy by classical molecular dynamics simulations,” has been accepted in AIP Advances. Congrats!

Currently, we don’t have an opening.
