Prof. Das has been elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Prof. Das received this honor from the Division of Polymer Physics for his research on polymer brushes. The citation supporting the Fellowship reads: “For fundamental discoveries of the properties of polyelectrolyte brushes, brush-supported water molecules and counterions, and liquid transport in nanochannels grafted with polyelectrolyte brushes, […]

In this paper, we employ a combination of all-atom MD simulations and Gaussian pre-processing and clustering based ML to discover multiple hydration states of the tetraethyl amino group of cationic brushes in the presence of different halide ions. This is Raashiq’s 13th paper from the group.

In this mini review paper, we review Antenna as Sensor technology. This is both Subad’s and Menna’s 2nd paper from the group.

In terms of sub-category, in the category of Chemical Physics, my rank is 2053 (with self-citations) and 2444 (without self-citations).  Included in theStanford University’s list of world’s top 2% scientists based on the citations for the year 2024.

In this paper, we have developed a theoretical model to explain the elastocapillary effects of an active drop. This is Ghansham’s 6th paper from the group.

In this paper, we report the discovery of a news type of metal-free 3D printable conductive inks (CNT-GO-PPD inks) reporting a conductivity value that is amongst the highest in metal-free inks. This is Subad’s 1st paper and Raashiq’s 12th paper from the group. Congrats!!!

Prof. Das delivered a Keynote Talk on “Interactions between Nanoparticles and Soft-Matter-Liquid Interfaces: Towards Developing Generic Nanocomposites, Conductive Inks with Low Sintering Temperatures, and Droplet-Based Cargo Transfer Mechanisms” in the ACS Colloids Conference held at Edmonton, Canada.

In this paper, we propose a Linear Discriminant Analysis based Machine Learning methods that helps to identify the factors to be studied to explain the electroosmotic transport in cationic brush grafted nanochannels. This is Raashiq’s 11th paper from the group.

In this paper we numerically study the interaction of one polymeric drop impacting on a film of a different, but miscible polymer. This is Arka’s 3rd paper and Vishal’s from the group and Vishal’s 27th paper from the group. Congrats !!!!

In this single-authored paper, I study the manner in which the use of active fluids can drive immiscible non-active fluids, when these two fluids are present in a capillary in a core-annular configuration.
