Research Interests
Theoretical and computational modeling of biomolecular systems from a materials perspective. Specifically, this incorporates cellulose and other plant polysaccharides, their interactions with solvents, co-solvents, and inorganic particles such as clay. Currently active projects include:
- Moisture stability in clay/biopolymer nanocomposites
- Conformational effects on the biological function of hemicelluloses
- Solubility of cellulose
- Mechanical properties of the cellulose nanofibril from a molecular perspective
- Interfaces in moist cellulose systems
