• Scientific interests
  

  -	Physics of interstellar dust: interaction of non-spherical grains with radiation, gas, etc.
  -	Light scattering by small particles: theoretical methods and codes, optical constants.
  -	Interstellar polarization: modelling of observational data (incl. those for Bok globules).
