Theoretical analysis of entropic transport in the nanoscale — analytic models and coarse-grained simulations of complex fluids across corrugated channels, exploring how dynamical correlations of dissolved species and heterogeneous substrates shape transport, accumulation and rectification at the nanoscale.

Daniel La Valle

Theoretical analysis of electrokinetics in confined microgels — analytic and coarse-grained models of soft, deformable colloidal gel particles, focusing on the interplay between internal degrees of freedom and the dynamics of the surrounding solvent and ionic distributions.
