Faculty Research

Prof Kumar’s group works on the behaviour of soft matter, trying to understand non-Newtonian fluids, soft robots, microfluidics, biocementation and its applications.

Prof Tomar’s group investigates various fluid flow phenomena involving multiscale systems. The lab’s major focus involves the simulations of two-phase flows.

Prof Jayanth’s group measures and controls motion and forces at micrometre and nanometre length scales for applications in imaging and manipulation

Prof Kumar’s lab specialises in research and development of green technologies involving natural refrigerants, hydrocarbon mixtures, and trans-critical co2 for cooling applications along with supercritical co2 based Brayton power cycles.

Prof Rangarajan’s group works on understanding the influence of geometry in the mechanics of elastic structures.
