Research on theoretical models and computer simulations of soft condensed matter systems, focusing on the connections between molecular and macroscopic behavior.
The group of David A. Weitz works on the physics of soft condensed matter, materials which are easily deformable by external stresses, electric or magnetic fields, or even by thermal fluctuations.
