Ramin Golestanian is Professor of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the Department of Physics and the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics at Oxford.

He has a broad research interest ranging from macroscopic manifestations of the quantum fluctuations of vacuum (the so-called Casimir effect) in nano-scale mechanical devices to statistical and mechanical properties of soft and biological matter.

He has recently been involved in the development of theoretical models for artificial micro-swimmers, and more recently synthetic nano-scale molecular swimmers, which could potentially be useful as therapeutic agents in the future.
