Thesis Title: Statics and dynamics of triple phase contact line under electric field
Wetting alteration by electric field, known as electrowetting, is a complex interfacial phenomenon governed by the statics and dynamics of the triple phase contact line. A comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon has implications in liquid displays, electrospraying, as well as droplet microfluidics. In droplet-based microfluidics, the incorporation of an external electric field provides control over mixing, transport and manipulation of droplets. During his PhD, he has developed the theoretical models based on lubrication and inertial lubrication theory that predict the behaviour of electrically different fluid droplets over soft and rigid substrates

Ph.D. (2019-2025), M.Tech., NIT Calicut
Thesis Title: Theoretical Model for the Initiation and Growth of Nanoporous Structures in Anodic Oxides
Porous anodic oxides are tiny, self-organized structures that form when certain metals are electrochemically treated in acidic solutions, creating useful materials for electronics, sensors and protective coatings. Her doctoral dissertation focused on developing a mathematical model taking into account the combined role of stress-driven oxide flow and field-assisted reactions at the metal-oxide and oxide-solution interfaces. Linear stability and weakly nonlinear analyses were performed, and the nonlinear behavior was further examined using a reduced-order model built on the weighted-residual integral boundary-layer theory.
