Our current efforts focus on predicting spatial organization in phase-separating protein/nucleic-acid mixtures and developing non-equilibrium strategies to optimize the assembly of multicomponent nanostructures. To accomplish these goals, our group uses statistical mechanics, coarse-grained models, and computer simulation methods that probe a broad range of length and time scales.
