Siddhartha Das

Three Ph.D. students, Swarup, Mihirkumar, and Ghansham defend their Ph.D. dissertations. Their dissertation titles are as follow: Swarup: MAGNETIC PARTICLES & DROPS AND THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH SOFT MATERIALS Mihirkumar: GEOMETRY AND SEQUENCE-DRIVEN INTERACTIONS BETWEEN NUCLEIC ACIDS AND PROTEIN Ghansham: ACTIVE LIQUIDS: EVAPORATION, SOFT WETTING, CONFINEMENT, AND QUANTUM EFFECTS

This grant is from the APL-UMD joint research program (APL: Applied Physics Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University) and this collaborative project will focus on printing antennas and reflector arrays.

In this paper, we utilize our technology of NP de-encapsulation from drops for transferring functionality to other drops. This is Swarup’s 9th paper and Achyut’s 1st paper from the group. Many congratulations !!!!

In this paper, we develop a DFT-Reactive-MD model to capture the Sold Electrolyte Interphase formation and the associated reaction pathways on a Li anode in the presence of a solid polymer electrolyte (SEI).

Prof. Das received AES Mid-Career Award and delivered a plenary talk in SciX Conference held in Sparks, NV. Prof. Das’ talk was on “Electroosmotic Transport in Soft Nanochannels Probed Using a Combination of Molecular Simulations and Machine Learning”.

This paper studies the 3D printing and characterization of CNT-GO-based patch antenna structures.

In this paper, we study the acoustothermal atomization of a refrigerant nanofilm, resulting in very large heat flux and superheating. This is Tanmay’s 10th paper form the group., Congratulations !!!!!!

In this paper, SMIEL group collaborated with a group at Univ. of Central Florida to study clay-nanostructure-based electronics. SMIEL group’s main contribution was to conduct DFT and atomistic simulations for capturing the properties of clay nanostructures. This is Tanmay’s 9th paper from the group.

In this paper, I provided an analytical solution for capillary flows of active liquids, where the activity gradient and the flow field are coupled.

In this paper, we provide a perspective quantifying the role of hydration effects in driving ion binding to polyelectrolyte brushes and chains. This is Raashiq’s 16th paper from the group.
