Abstract
Computer simulation has emerged as a powerful probe of the behavior of surfactant systems. The past few years have seen several novel applications, which have given important insights into the nature of the water-surfactant interface as well as the behavior of surfactants at different liquid-vapor, liquid-liquid and liquid-solid interfaces. These lectures focus on surfactants and lipids in aqueous environments.
