The group makes use of both analytical and computer simulation techniques to investigate a broad spectrum of topics including: statistical mechanics, quantum dynamics, theromdynamics and molecular simulation of nanoscale systems, adsorption, characterization of porous materials, and properties of liquids and solids. These require the development of new theoretical and computational tools to these challenging problems in direct connection to experiments. We develop and apply modern methods of mathematical physics to study nanoporus materials, which contain micro- and mesopores. They include carbon nanotubes, active carbons and activated carbon fibres, zeolites, mesoporous molecular sieves, silica and other inorganic oxides, etc. Our industry-oriented projects are heavily grounded in fundamentals. A brief summary of the topics of current interest in the group are presented on the Research page.
