- Modeling RNA folding
- X-ray studies of nanostructured metals grown on silicon
- Tunable single electron memory
- Charge transport in polymer-based transistors
- Tunable Pt nanoparticle based single electron memory
- Single molecule approaches to membrane proteins
- Molecular dynamics: water transport in channel proteins
- Computational condensed matter physics
- Neutron scattering studies of model membranes
- Ultrafast optical processes in organic semiconductors
- Spin-orbit interaction at oxide interfaces
- Modeling bio-molecular interactions
