Projects:

	Past: Development of models to allow the smectic C liquid crystalline phases to be modeled by computer simulation with Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Techniques.
	Present: Development and testing of models to simulate the phase behavior of the polymeric systems in supercritical solutions to be determined by Monte Carlo techniques.
