Nanoplasmonics : Currently, I am interested in research work to develop the Quantum Hydrodynamic theory(QHT) for nanoplasmonics. This theory will improve our understanding of various unexplained phenomena that have been observed at small nano-meter scale by researchers in the nanoplasmonic community. Such a theory will provide predictions for fullquantum mechanical treatment for such nano-scale, taking into account electron scattering, electron spill out, Quantum tunneling, quantum-size effects and spatial non local effect of material polarization.QHT provides an excellent method to study both near-field and far-field properties of multiscale plasmonic systems. QHT can accurately and efficiently describe:
Plasmon resonances,
Electron spill-out
Retardation effects
Bio Fluids Mechanics: Bio-fluid mechanics is a complex field including one of the most important areas of study--blood flow and cardiovascular diseases. It is the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics are used to explain the mechanisms of biological flows and their interrelationships with physiological processes, in health and in diseases/disorder. In this particular area, I am interested in computational modeling of blood flow in the arterial network system will provide a better understanding of the physiology of human body. Hence, hemodynamics play an important role in the development and progression of arterial stenosis, aneurysms and atherosclerosis leading to the malfunctioning of cardiovascular system.
Microfluidics Devices: Our research on microfluidics has led to the development of acousto-fluidics techniques. Manipulation and separation of micro-objects (such as cells, micro-particles, and droplets) is critical for a wide variety of lab-on-a-chip applications. Many separation techniques have been developed to currently, due to low power requirements of acousto-fluidics devices facilitate their integration into lab-on-a-chip devices. The acousto-fluidics particle separation and Manipulation techniques are label-free and biocompatible, permitting the manipulation of living organisms. Many theoretical studies and recent reports on acousto-fluidic techniques suggest that any type of particle or cell can be separated based on their shape, size, density, or compressibility differences.
