1. Spherical Indentation Technique for Multiscale Characterisation of Asphalt Mixtures
Abstract : The viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures strongly influence the performance of flexible pavements with respect to their resistance to several common distress modes. Therefore, accurate measurement of these properties and their change during the service life is an important area of ongoing research. READ MORE

2. Variational Methods in Combinatorial Optimization and Phylogeny Reconstruction
Abstract : Algorithms based on the variational approach, as used in statistical physics, are developed. For constraint satisfaction problems a novel cost function, based on information-theoretic arguments, is introduced, and an algorithm similar to the mean-field annealing algorithm is proposed.

3. Interactions in aqueous salt solutions : Atomistic modelling versus experiment
Abstract : The research in this thesis investigates how atoms and molecules constituting aqueous salt solutions interact using computational approaches, namely Monte Carlo simulations and molecular dynamics simulations. In the first paper, an atomistic model was developed for aqueous solutions of sodium thiocyanate and potassium thiocyanate (NaSCN and KSCN). READ MORE

4. Modeling of inorganic ions in aqueous solution
Abstract : Essentially all chemical processes and reactions occurring in the environment take place in the presence of ions. In water, ions set the conditions for how other dissolved particles interact. Ions are also directly involved in chemical reactions affecting the climate such as ozone depletion. READ MORE

5. From Static Structures to Free Energy Landscapes: Characterizing Conformational Transitions in Biological Macromolecules
Abstract : To be alive means to temporarily counteract the fundamental dispersive driving force described by the second law of thermodynamics, eventually leading all systems to decay and disorder. In cells, this task is partly carried out by proteins - small specialized molecular machines that utilize free energy to maintain the proper functioning of the cell. READ MORE
