Physical chemistry of complex systems
Group leader
Prof. dr hab. Wojciech Góźdź
Research topics
We are interested in mathematical modeling of physicochemical processes encountered in soft matter, active matter, and biological systems. We develop theories within the framework of statistical physic to describe, understand and predict the behavior, and discover new physical phenomena in studied systems. We perform molecular simulations using methods of Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics to investigate on a molecular scale complex physical systems. In our work we combine the knowledge from many discipline of science such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science.
