| Description: | 
                                    The Uline Research Group works to understand how complex interactions at interfaces
                                       couple to create phenomena observed in chemical and biological systems. We currently
                                       focus on molecular modeling of biological interfaces, specifically phase transitions
                                       and binding in lipid bilayers and surfactant-driven nematic ordering transitions in
                                       liquid-crystal thin films. Other interests include bubble and droplet nucleation theory,
                                       molecular dynamics simulations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble, and effects of
                                       multivalent ions on the charge regulation in tethered polyelectrolytes. |
