General fields of interest: [recent overview]

• statistical physics in general
• computational methods in condensed matter physics ^[BWM04]
• rheology of complex fluids: colloids, polymers
• polymers: solutions and melts ^{[WBM07,MWK08]}, brushes, thin films, rings, charged polymers
• equilibrium polymers: statics, linear rheology
• static stress distribution in granular matter ^[CWBC99b]
• amorphous solids ^{[WTBL02,LTWB06]}

Current research fields:

• Concentrated polymer solutions: Deviations from Flory's ideality hypothesis
• Polymers in thin films: Statics and equilibrium dynamics
• Dynamical properties of equilibrium polymers
• Rotational displacements in the elastic response of silic silica glasses
