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
Currently working as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. V. Shankar at IIT Kanpur and Prof. Satish Kumar at University of Minnesota under the FARE scheme at IIT Kanpur
