Research Interests


My scientific work is mainly focused on condensed matter theory, particularly in problems related to nanoscience. .

The major areas in my research are: Adsorption in Nanostructures, Nanoclusters, Low temperature physics of Helium,  Wetting Transitions, Bose-Einstein Condensation in confinement.

I study these problems by doing computer simulations:  Monte Carlo Simulations, Density Functional calculations or Simple Models.

My current projects are:

  1. Adsorption in Nanostructures
  2. Solid-Liquid Phase transition for LJ clusters

All these projects are suitable for student's research.
