• Vladimir Baulin is a Coordinator of EU funded Initial Training Network SNAL: Smart Nano-objects for Alteration of Lipid bilayers.
• Guest editor of the web themed issue "Interaction of nano-objects with lipid membranes" in Soft Matter journal.
• Develops highly parallel methods for GPU cards using CUDA.
• Develops Single Chain Mean Field (SCMF) theory for lipid bilayers, a simulation tool able to predict the properties of nanostructures given the microscopic details of its constituents.
• Models nano-structured antibacterial surfaces inspired by insect wing surfaces.
• Contributes to Poisson-Boltzmann theory of interpolyelectrolyte complexes.
