My research interest is primarily in biophysics, in particular in the physics of biomolecular motor dynein. I study the mechanoelastic properties of this molecule and relate them to the ATP hydrolysis to describe the kinetics of its processive stepping. I am also interested in a variety of topics in 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.
