Welcome to the Janna Maranas Research Group Home Page. The Maranas group is comprised of graduate students and postdocs investigating molecular mobility in soft materials. Our work is equally divided between computation and experiment. We offer state-of-the-art research projects and a friendly environment in which to work and learn. Current projects address lithium ion batteries and fuel cells, protein aggregation in neurodegenerative disease, plant cell walls and drug delivery. In this website you can have a look at our research topics and techniques, and what the individual group members work on.
