Research Interest:

We cherish in developing statistical mechanical models and applying them to investigate a wide range of interesting problems in physical chemistry, chemical physics, biology-inspired physics and soft condensed matter. We are also interested in theoretical aspects of statistical mechanics. As tools we use analytical techniques (pen & paper theory) and computer simulations.
