Research interests

Equilibrium phase behaviour, phase transition kinetics, non-equilibrium phenomena (aggregation, gelation, slow ageing) in various complex fluids, especially colloid-polymer mixtures and mixtures involving surfactants; main technique is direct observation using time-lapse video using various imaging techniques (e.g. dark field, phase contrast), supplemented by light scattering (static, small-angle, dynamic) and rheology. Theoretical description of non-equilibrium phenomena
