Dr Zuowei Wang

Job Title:

Lecturer

Responsibilities:

Areas of Interest:

Multiscale computer simulation and theoretical modelling of soft matters:

• Entangled linear and branched polymers: dynamics and rheological properties
• Charged block copolymers (polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes): conformational transition and self-assembly behaviour
• Surfactant micelles: micellar shape transition, interaction with polymers and additives, rheological properties
• Dipolar colloidal suspensions, including ferrofluids, electro- (ER) and magneto-rheological (MR) fluids: field-induced structure formation, electrostatic and magnetic properties
• Computational and theoretical algorithms: atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, scaling theory, tube theory, Ewald summation, first-principle electronic structure calculation, etc.
