My
research interests are in the general area of intermolecular and
intersurface forces in complex fluid systems. Our group uses the
Surface Forces Apparatus for directly measuring the forces between
surfaces in liquids and vapors, and for studying other interfacial
phenomena, providing information at the molecular level not always
available by other techniques. Our current research is primarily
experimental, and involves measurements of the interactions between
various surfaces separated by various liquids and liquid mixtures,
surfactants and polymers, and the interactions of biomembranes
and biological macromolecules such as protein-protein and ligand-receptor
interactions.
