We investigate the physical properties of soft (biological) condensed matter systems using analytic theory and classical computer simulations. The topics studied by our group cover a broad range of systems and include, for instance, the (non)equilibrium structure and phase behavior of colloidal and polymeric fluids, protein structure and dynamics in aqueous (poly)electrolyte solutions, protein adsorption to soft interfaces, or the self-organization of organic materials at inorganic surfaces. Our group employs approaches from classical statistical mechanics, liquid state theory, and various computer simulation techniques. In particular, we use molecular dynamics (MD), Brownian dynamics (BD), or Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations combined with integral equation theory or (classical) dynamical density functional theory.
