Professor Tuomas Knowles conducts research in Physical Chemistry with a focus on the biophysical aspects of biopolymers and soft systems. His work investigates the physical factors underlying self-assembly in protein molecules, aiming to understand the self-organization processes that contribute to complex matter in nature and provide functionality to living systems. His research seeks to elucidate the physical and chemical factors that control the structures and dynamics of biomolecular assemblies, exploring the connections between nanoscale characteristics of component molecules and the physical properties of large-scale assemblies. The laboratory employs various techniques, including biosensors, optical lithography, microfluidic devices, scanning probe microscopy, and spectroscopy. His interests span fundamental chemical physics and extend into technological applications in material science and molecular medicine.
