- Computer simulations of amphiphilic molecules.
Research targets will be those of understanding aggregation and formation of molecular structures at interfaces.
       * Self-assembly of surfactant molecules in bulk and at different interfaces.
       * Aggregation of surfactant molecules on solid surfaces.
       * Structure of molecules on different substrates
      * Surfactant mixtures at different interfaces
       * Surface tension studies

- Computer simulations of fluids in disordered porous matrices. Characterization of porous matrices. Studies of thermodynamic, dynamical and structural properties of fluids in pores.
       * Preparation and characterization of simple pore models.
       * Diffusion of fluids immersed in pores
       * Thermodynamics of confined fluids



- Adsorption and retention of gases on solid surfaces.
       * Adsorption isotherms
       * Temperature and pressure dependence of gas adsorption



- Development of computational algorithms to study complex systems.
- Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo methods.
