June 2019: Paper Accepted in Soft Matter
In this paper, we study the electrokinetic energy generation in nanochannels grafted with pH-responsive polyelectrolyte brushes modeled using our recently developed Strong Stretching Theory. This is the most advanced continuum modelling of electrokinetic transport in brush-grafted nanochannel till date. This is Harnoor’s 13th paper from the group and Vishal’s 3rd paper from the group. Congrats […]
June 2019: Paper accepted in Matter
In this paper, we use MD simulations to show that a liquid drop behaves a nanoparticle and exhibits elastocapillary adhesion behavior on a layer of solvophobic polymer brushes. This is Parth’s 9th paper, Yanbin’s 10th, Harnoor’s 12th paper, and Haoyuan’s 13th paper from the group. Congrats all !!!!

Prof. Siddhartha Das has been promoted to the position of Associate Professorship with tenure in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Maryland (UMD). Prof. Das has received an early tenure.
April 2019: Shayandev Sinha wins the University of Maryland Mechanical Engineering 2018 Best Dissertation Award
Congratulations Shayandev…..This award recognizes Shayandev’s thesis titled “Bilayer Membrane Electrostatics and Charge-Regulated Membrane-Nanoparticle Interactions”. Shayandev is SMIEL’s 2nd graduated PhD student. SMIEL’s 1st graduated PhD student Dr. Guang Chen won the same award last year…. “
April 2019: Paper accepted in Applied Physics Letters
In this collaborative paper with the group of Prof. Thomas Thundat of SUNY Buffalo, a microfluidic cantilver based approach is proposed to quantify DNA melting and an existence of pre-melting, bubble-rich DNA states. This is Parth’s 8th paper from the group. Congrats Parth !!!!!
April 2019: Paper accepted in Energy and Environmental Science
In this collaborative work with the group of Prof. Liangbing Hu, a stable, salt-resistant solar evaporator has been designed. My contribution to this study has been the development of a scaling model that establishes the condition under which the detrimental effect of salt accumulation can be overcome.
February 2019: Prof. Das honored at the Inaugural Maryland Research Excellence Celebration
Prof. Das has been honored at the UMD’s Inaugural Maryland Research Excellence Celebration. This is based on Prof. Das and his group’s research contributions in 2018. A total of 200 professors from the entire university were honored.
February 2019: Paper accepted in Langmuir
In this paper, we discuss the electrostatics and interactions of a silica Nanoparticle approaching the plasma membrane accounting for the ionization of the silica nanoparticle in the ionic environment of the plasma membrane…..This is Harnoor’s 11th paper and Vishal’s 2nd paper from the group. Congrats both !!!!
February 2019: Paper accepted in Advanced Functional Materials
In this collaborative paper (lead: Prof. Liangbing Hu) paper, a wood based membrane for crude oil recovery has been proposed. Guang Chen, former SMIEL PhD student, is a co-author. This is Guang’s 23rd paper from the group…Congrats Guang and the entire team !!!!!
