Experience

Project Intern

Jul 2023 - Apr 2024

Microfluidic Devices and Heterogeneous Systems Lab

Centre for Nanoscience and Engineering, Indian Institute of Science

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Privileged to be co-guided by Prof. Prosenjit Sen (MDHS Lab, CeNSE, IISc Bengaluru) and Prof. Sumer Dirbude (NIT-C) for my MTech project/thesis (in progress); I worked on the project which focused on exploring the fascinating world of freezing transitions of liquid marbles (particle-laden droplets) on hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces. This work allowed me to delve into the intricate interplay between droplet behaviour and surface characteristics, offering valuable insights into the fundamental principles governing these phenomena. I profoundly understood microfluidics and its potential applications in diverse fields through hands-on experimentation, data analysis, and collaborative discussions. The experience helped me to pursue my interests in the area of fluidics. 

Summer Research Intern

May 2023 - Jul 2023

Indian Institute of Science

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Privileged to be co-guided by Prof. Prosenjit Sen (MDHS Lab, CeNSE, IISc Bengaluru) and Prof. Sumer Dirbude (NIT-C) for my MTech project/thesis (in progress); In this work, a thorough investigation of the impact dynamics of particle-laden droplets (liquid marbles) over various surfaces was conducted. The particle-laden droplets of various mass loading were prepared and impacted upon a hydrophobic surface. The impact dynamics and subsequent breakage of the droplet interface were recorded by means of a high-speed camera. Such breakages have a wide range of applications, such as printing, spray coating, pesticide/insecticide spraying, needle-less drug delivery, etc.  This work allowed me to delve into the intricate interplay between droplet behaviour and surface characteristics, offering valuable insights into the fundamental principles governing these phenomena. I profoundly understood microfluidics and its potential applications in diverse fields through hands-on experimentation, data analysis, and collaborative discussions. The experience helped me to pursue my interests in the area of fluidics. 

Teaching Assistant

Aug 2022 - June 2023

National Institute of Technology Calicut

Kozhikode, Kerala, India

As a Teaching Assistant for ZZ1002D Engineering Graphics, I guided and mentored first-year engineering students, providing comprehensive support in preparing solutions and mastering engineering graphics techniques. I explained complex concepts through interactive sessions and fostered a supportive learning environment that encouraged student engagement and understanding. 

Summer Intern
