Siddhartha Das

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.

Prof. Das delivered an invited seminar in the department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University on “Electroosmotic Transport in Soft Nanochannels Probed Using Atomistic Simulations and Machine Learning”.

In this latest single authored paper, Prof. Das studies the effect of a background active flow in a capillary on the drag force and torque (calculated by Faxen’s Laws) on a spherical particle.

Prof. Das receives his APS Fellowship (from the Division of Polymer Physics) at APS Global Summit in Denver.

In this paper, which is a collaborative effort with a group in Catholic University of America, we study the utilization of hybrid solid electrolyte interphase for stabilizing sodium anode. My group’s contributions was ReaxFF simulations performed by Tanmay. This is Tanmay’s 8th paper from the group. Congrats!!!!

Prof. Das delivers a Keynote Talk titled “PROBING POLYELECTROLYTE BRUSHES VIA ATOMISTIC AND ELECTRONIC SIMULATIONS AND MACHINE LEARNING” at the 1stInternational (7th National) Conference on Recent Advancements in Physical Sciences, jointly organized by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics, National Institute of Technology Uttarakhand, held during February 6–8, 2026, at NIT Uttarakhand.

In this single-authored paper, I study the effect of active flows in capillary filling dynamics.

In this paper, we study the binding of thiocyanate ion to cationic brushes using all-atom MD simulations and DFT calculations. This is Raashiq’s 15th paper from the group.
