Main research of methods of statistical physics (i.e. computer simulations of classical thermal manyparticle systems, density functional calculations) specially statistical and dynamic charcteristics of thermal fluid systems are analyzed. It means that we are particularly interested in the interplay between intermolecular interactions and on the other hand in the thermal energy that is stored in these systems. Nanostructured materials (i.e. nanoporous materials) which are analyzed by its wetting and adsorption characteristics are especially important to come to a better understanding of transport and catalytic processes at such functional materials. Another focus of our work is the area of supramolecular fluids which are studied with help of mesoscalic methods of computer simulations.
