IITKGP

Responsibilities

  • Joint President, Gymkhana

Research Areas

  • Scalable synthesis of nanomaterials
  • Nanomaterials for solar energy
  • DEM Simulations

The broad area of research for JCLABS is particle technology. The size range of interest is from nano to micro and a variety of application areas including granulation,  heat transfer fluids, solid lubricant, polymer additives and viral infection are addressed. We understand how particles behave and believe that similar principles can be applied to solve a range of problems.  We have expertise in simulation tools such as Population Balance Modeling, Discrete Element Method Simulations and CFD coupling.
