Siddhartha Das

In this paper, we discuss the factors driving reduced conductivity of the printed metal nanoparticle ink traces. This is Ghansham’s 2nd paper, Ankit’s 11tth, Vishal’s 21st, and Beihan’s 7th paper from the group. Congrats All!!!!

This is a big honor for Prof. Das and his group, given that some of the biggest names in Fluid Mechanics serve in the Editorial Advisory Board of the Physics of Fluids journal

Bhargav Sai Chava successfully defends his Ph.D. thesis. He is the 11th Ph.D. from the group. He has published 10 journal papers. Many congratulations !!!!

Vishal Sankar Sivasankar defends his Ph.D. thesis successfully on the topic: SIMULATION OF POLYMERIC DROP DYNAMICS: EFFECT OF PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION, IMPACT VELOCITY, AND MULTI-MATERIAL COALESCENCE. Vishal is the 10th Ph.D. from the group. Heartiest congratulations !!!!!

Sai Ankit Etha successfully defends his Ph.D. thesis on the topic: Molecular-scale exploration of interactions between drops and particles with a polymeric layer. Ankit is the 9th Ph.D. from the group. Heartiest congratulations !!!!!

In this paper, we show the factors driving the water filling of Boron Nitride Nanotubes. This is Bhargav’s 10th paper and Ghansham’s 1st paper from the group. Congrats to both !!!

Prof. Das’ Interview was published by Soft Matter as a part of the Soft Matter Emerging Investigator Series (where Prof. Das contributed a paper). The interview can be accessed in this link.

In this paper, we describe our fabrication of printable carbon-nanotube-based highly robust humidity sensors that can deployed on surfaces of widely varying curvatures. This is Beihan’s 6th paper, Vishal’s 19th paper, and Swarup’s 3rd paper from the group. Congrats All !!!!

In this paper, we demonstrate the effect of screening counterion valence in the overall ion distribution and electroosmotic transport in nanochannels grafted with charged polyelectrolyte brushes. This is Turash’s 12th paper from the group. Congratulations !!!!

In this paper, we employ machine learning to study the effect of polyelectrolyte brush induced confinement in affecting the water-water hydrogen bonding. This is group’d first paper on machine learning. This is also Turash’s 11th paper from the group.
