Welcome to the research website of Dr. Nayef Alsaifi. Our research is focused on developing and evaluating statistical mechanically based theories and models. 

THERMODYNAMIC MODELING AND BIFURCATION ANALYSIS

We developed a new method to pinpoint unphysical behaviour from any thermodynamic model using bifurication analysis.

POLARIZATION IN LIQUID SOLUTIONS

We developed a general theory to account for any kind of polarization based on a self-consistent mean field theory

MULTIPHASE EQUILIBRIA AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES FOR SIMPLE AND COMPLEX FLUIDS

We use statistical mechanical based models to predict multi-phase equilibria for different kinds of mixtures including gas hydrates, polar and associative mixtures.

PHASE BEHAVIOR OF POLYELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS

With the collaboration with Dr. Zhen-Gang Wang from Caltech

We developed a theory to study the phase behavior of polyelectrolyte solutions with the presence of small ions.
