Recent field of interest:
1. Physics of epigenetics and chromosome organisation: polymer models and MD simulations
2. Topological properties of polymers and biopolymers: scaling laws and Monte Carlo techniques
3. Physics of active matter: field theory and Lattice Boltzmann simulations
4. Dynamics and rheological properties of complex fluids: Lattice Boltzmann simulations

Since 1991 I have published over 200 (100 since 2009) scientific papers that,
according to ISI, have gained over 8128 citations,
with h-index = 44 (Google scholars).
