a. Liquid-2-D-material interactions for energy, environmental, and biomedical applications This research topic focuses on probing the interactions between liquids and 2D materials like graphene, hexagonal Boron Nitride, etc. We employ Molecular Dynamics Simulations for our investigations. The key applications are fabrication of graphene-based water filters, graphene-based heat exchangers and super-capacitors, etc. Involved Graduate Students (Present):
a. Wetting of soft deformable surfaces This research area focuses on understanding the interactions of liquid drops with soft, deformable substrates. On substrates that deform under the action of the surface tension forces of the liquid drops, an intriguing interplay of the solid-liquid interactions ensure different static and dynamic behaviors of the liquid drops.
