In this paper, we study the streaming current generation and resulting electrokinetic transport in capillaries transporting active liquids. This is Ghansham’s 4th paper from the group. Congratulations !!!!

In this paper, we study the fluid mechanics of active fluids in a permeable capillary. This is Prof. Das’ 6th single-author paper.

In this paper, we calculate the Taylor’s dispersion coefficient in presence of active liquid flows in a capillary. This is Prof. Das’ 5th single-author paper.

Chem.Comm. declared that our feature article titled “All-atom Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polymer and Polyelectrolyte Brushes” (DOI: 10.1039/D4CC01557F), was one of the top 25% downloaded ChemComm articles in June.

SMIEL Ph.D. student, Raashiq Ishraaq has been awarded a scholarship from the Philadelphia Section of the Society of Tribologists and Lubricating Engineers (STLE). He is the seventh student from SMIEL to win this prestigious scholarship. Congratulations Raashiq !!!!

In this Feature Article, we discuss my group’s work on all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of polymer and polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes. This is Raashiq’s 7th paper from the group. Congratulations !!!!

In this paper, we establish a new machine learning technique to demonstrate two separate hydration states of the {N(CH3)3}+ of the PMETAC brushes. This is Raashiq’s 6th paper and Tanmay’s 4th paper from the group. Congrats to both !!!!!!

This paper probes the hydrogen bonding network inside boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). This is Bhargav’s 11th publication from the group.

SMIEL’s former Ph.D. student Vishal Sivasankar’s Ph.D. dissertation has been selected to receive “Honorable Mention” in the UMD’s Charles A. Caramello Distinguished Dissertation Award competition. This competition represents the competition among all the Ph.D. dissertations across all departments and this honor means that Vishal’s dissertation ranks among the best 1-2 dissertations in the entire Engineering,

This funding will help the SMIEL group to additively fabricate patch antennae using CNT-based conductive inks.
