Research projects:

• The goal is to reveal the static and dynamic properties of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action and the static and dynamic structure-function relationship.
• Establish a quantitative link between polymer theory, computer simulations, and predominantly scattering experiments for IDPs.
• Pushing the boundaries regarding analyzing scattering data with computer simulations.
• Structural and thermodynamical properties of colloids with a focus on anisotropic particles (clay).

For this purpose, atomistic and coarse-grained MD/MC simulations are combined with scattering, spectroscopy, and surface adsorption techniques.
