Biomembranes
Complex membranes that define the boundary of cells and their internal organelles.

Statistical biophysics
Statistical biphysics provides powerful general tools for understanding the behaviour of biological systems governed by random (stochastic) events. For example: how do biomolecules arrive at the right place in a cell to serve its function?

Liquid crystals
Liquid crystals are fascinating materials that share some properties of liquids and some properties of solid crystals: the can flow like liquids, but they have optical properties similar to those of crystals.

Computational soft-matter physics
Gaining a better understanding of soft-materials such as rubber, foam or plastics to optimise them for specific applications or to reduce their environmental footprint.
