The morphological self-assembly patterns exhibited by block copolymers have attracted considerable interest in the recent years . The possibility of achieving well defined long-range order in these systems, and on length scales continuously tunable by tuning the degree of polymerization, has opened up a number of avenues for applications.

For instance, the cooperative self-assembly of block copolymers and inorganic species have led to the creation of ordered inorganic mesoporous structures --- expected to have far-reaching ramifications in the field of catalysis and separations devices.

Self assembly of polymers with conjugated (functional) blocks is presently touted to be the precursor to self-assembled electronic and optical devices. A number of other synthesis and self-assembly strategies in block copolymers focusing on biomimetic applications are also underway in a number of research groups.

My postdoctoral researches focused on the development of efficient computational strategies for predicting the self-assembly morphologies of block copolymers and other complex fluid materials. Explicitly, I analyzed the nature and the location of equilibrium structures in theories as above, thereby deriving some computational strategies to efficiently determine them.
