We carry out experimental studies of self-assembly, phase behavior and physical properties of self-organizing polymers and nanostructures, mostly in multi-component systems that exhibit synergetic, non-additive behavior.

Our studies are motivated by fundamental questions, while we are highly aware of the challenges presented by environmental issues, sustainability and emerging technologies.

We carry out multi-disciplinary research based on close collaboration with other experimental groups and theoreticians. 

We routinely utilize electron microscopy, Small-Angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), optical microscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and rheology for characterization of the investigated systems.
