Over the past 15 years, my work has mainly been related to the study of liquid crystal compounds with a diverse structure (discotic, dendrimeric, banana, bimedogenic, uniaxial and biaxial nematics and smectics) as well as polymeric materials (biopolymers, nano-composites) and biological materials. My work mainly concerns the issues of organization, observation of orientation effects, studying the dynamics of molecular processes and analyses of these phenomena at the molecular level, to determine to what extent their properties are controlled by ordering parameters and how macroscopic properties of these materials depend on the structure and organization of them.
