I have been awarded a two year grant (09-2009 to 09-2011) for a post.doc. at UC Berkeley under the supervision of Prof. David Chandler by "The Danish Council for Independent Research | Natural Sciences" (FNU).

Research Interests

I am in particular interested in dynamics, structure and stability towards crystallization of highly viscous liquids and have specialized in molecular dynamics simulations to pursue such investigations.
In the past I have investigated molecular dynamics simulations of phospholipid membranes.

Below are some headlines and selected publications (click on the left for a complete list of publications):

  (work in progress)

• Low temperature fate of liquids: crystal or glass? A question about packing
  [PRL 104, 105701 (2010);JCP 130:224501 (2009)].

• A class of liquids with strong pressure-energy correlations: consequences of an effective inverse-power law pair potential
