Main directions
The research program combines condensed matter physics, soft matter, nanostructured materials, and computational methods. The homepage organizes this breadth into four coherent directions.
Anisotropic Fluids, Gauge Theory, and Orientation
Research on orientational order and anisotropic fluids, including gauge-theoretic descriptions of orientation and structure.
Colloidal Self-Assembly and Soft Matter
Colloidal dumbbells, colloid–droplet mixtures, droplet evaporation, open clusters, binary mixtures, and crystal structures in soft anisotropic systems.
Plasmonics, Metamaterials, and Functional Absorbers
Optical metamaterials, microwave coding metamaterial absorbers, plasmonic properties, and algorithm-assisted design of electromagnetic structures.
Functional Oxides, Photocatalysis, and Solid-State Materials
Preparation, thermodynamic stability, reaction pathways, and photocatalytic characterization of functional oxide materials.
Representative funded projects

Simulation and experimental studies. Ministry of Education and Training. Principal Investigator.
Assembly of colloids with anisotropic shape and interactions
Into colloidal clusters and colloidal crystals: a simulation and experiment study. NAFOSTED. Principal Investigator.
Integrated program
