We seek to understand how molecules and nanoparticles assemble spontaneously ("self-assemble") at the nano-micro scales. Our work gives insights into the design and function of biomolecular structures. Moreover, we develop rules for the design of new types of ("smart") fluids and materials that could be useful in consumer products, oil recovery, drug delivery and nanotechnology.
