Research interest
In the last few years my research interest has transitioned to physics
education research. My research focus spans the research-based
development materials for inquiry-based student-centered learning and
teaching, the development of scientific abilities, the transformation
of experienced traditional university teachers into reformed teachers,
and many more.
I am also interested in biophysics, in particular in the physics of
biomolecular motors, both in general and specifically in the
biomotor dynein. I study the mechanoelastic properties of
molecular motors and relate them to the ATP hydrolysis to
describe the kinetics of their processive stepping (dynein) or
collaborative work (muscle myosin). My previous research
tackled also a variety of topics from the soft matter physics,
such as colloids, liquid crystals, and active materials.
My theoretical work relies on computer or analytic modelling based mainly on
phenomenological approaches and/or Monte Carlo simulations.
