Professor Nigel Wilding is an expert in the field of soft matter physics, applying advanced simulation methods to explore the physics of soft matter systems, including self-assembly, unusual phase behaviour, and non-equilibrium dynamics. He focuses on the development and application of novel simulation algorithms that unveil phenomena that are often inaccessible through traditional techniques. His work emphasizes the connection between simple theoretical models and actual physical systems, facilitating meaningful collaborations with experimentalists. Additionally, his research interests extend to computational and theoretical solutions for a wide array of challenges within statistical chemical physics, including the physical origins of hydrophobic phenomena, wetting transitions, and active matter dynamics.
Department of Physics research themes include Astrophysics, Materials and Devices, Particle Physics, and Quantum and Soft Matter.
