Surfactant-covered aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life. These interfaces play a key role in various commercial products, where surfactants adsorb onto the surface of bubbles or oil droplets to stabilize foams and emulsions. Examples of such foams and emulsions are commonly found in pharmaceuticals, detergents, cosmetics and lubricants. In …
During the summer of 2019, prior to my final year of Mathematics (BSc), I was fortunate enough to be awarded an undergraduate fellowship at Kings College London, in the Department of Physics to work on molecular dynamics simulation. Firstly, I would like to express gratitude to my supervisors, Dr Chris …
In our recent manuscript entitled “On the structure of solid lipid nanoparticles“, we have combined large-scale all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments to provide the first detailed description of the internal structure and atomistic interactions which govern this structure of liquid and solid lipid aggregates, …
Our latest manuscript entitled “On the interaction of hyaluronic acid with synovial fluid lipid membranes” features work by two PhD students in the lab (Paul Smith & Rob Ziolek) and an undergraduate student who worked with us last summer (Elena Gazzarrini). In this manuscript, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to …
