The focus of our research is the use of molecular modeling tools to understand and predict the thermodynamic and transport properties of biological systems, nanomaterials and complex fluids. These tools include molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations as well as molecular theory. Current projects include using molecular simulation to provide insight into the barrier function of skin lipids and to understand the differences between healthy and diseased skin.
