Research interests include, but are not limited to: active colloids with the emphasis on controlling the behaviour of individual active particle; liquid crystal-colloid composites: Effective colloidal interactions mediated by liquid crystal (LC) distortions; effects of topologically nontrivial confinements on the structure of LCs and topological defects; capillary interaction-driven assembly of colloidal particles trapped at curved fluid interfaces wetting properties of nano-textured surfaces.
