Dr Aleks Reinhardt | Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry

Associate Professor

In my research, I use computer simulations and statistical mechanics to study the behaviour of molecular and colloidal systems. In particular, I am interested in phase transitions, nucleation and self-assembly, and how thermodynamic and kinetic factors affect and control them.
