WELCOME TO THE HOME PAGE OF OUR RESEARCH GROUP
As a colloids & interfacial engineering research group, we are constantly endeavouring to address the problems related to self-assembly of patchy colloids, Janus colloids, water-in-water Pickering emulsion, emulsification in turbulent flow, synthesis of spherical and non-spherical microcapsules, physics of phase separation of bio-polymers, active colloidal clusters and colloidal chains, Langmuir-Blodgett isotherm study, synthesis of nano and micron-sized particles, advanced functional materials, and removal of environmental contaminants from pharmaceutical and personal healthcare products using nano/micromotors. We established a colloid and interfacial Engineering research lab at IIT Ropar (Main Campus).
Currently, six PhD research scholars are working under my guidance. We seek suitable candidates to pursue a PhD to work on the following projects.
1. Building nano-capsules using water-in-water nano-emulsions (aqueous two-phase systems) stabilized by the self-assembly of oppositely charged biopolymer-based nanoparticles. Funded by SERB under the scheme of CRG
2. Preparation of Pickering nanoemulsion (w/w) as a nanocarrier for drug delivery applications
3. Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization
4. Emulsification in turbulent flow
5. Waste-to-energy
6. Energy efficiency
7. Synthesis of spherical and non-spherical colloidal particles and capsules
