Responsibilities

  • Local Institute Coordinator for IIT Kharagpur for SPARC

Research Areas

  • Magnetic Drug Targeting
  • Taylor Dispersion in non-Newtonian Flows
  • Bio Fluid Mechanics
  • Double diffusive convective instability
I work in the areas of Biofluid Mechanics, to explore more on the targeted drug delivery using the multifunctional nano carrier particles in the human vasculature. 
I am also interested to explore the solute dispersion in non-Newtonian flood flows, this is essential to estimate the amount of drug that is required to be  injected to cure certain deceases using the directed drug delivery.
I am also interested to continue to work in the direction of double diffusive covective  transport in porous media and clear fluids to have optimal estimates on the heat and mass transfer coefficients and also to investigate the stability/instability of the flow.
