Modeling of Electrodiffusion Processes from Nano to Macro Scale

Mass and charge transport processes play an important role in different areas of science. The membrane processes involving charge transport are of vital importance in cell biology since they support homeostasis of living organisms. In the field of ion-selective electrodes transport of ions determines generation of electrochemical signals. The process of ionic diffusion remains of primary importance in many civil engineering problems since the long-term durability of building materials, such as concrete, is directly affected by the transport of chemical species. Length scale of the above processes range from nanometers for biological membranes through micrometers for ion selective electrodes up to centimeters for ions transport in concrete.
