Welcome to the Soft Matter and Nanomaterials Experimental Group of Prof. Sunita Srivastava at the Department of Physics, IITB. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.

Our Research Interests are focused at the interface of soft condense matter and nanoscience. Broadly, we focus towards understanding the physics of self-assembly and structure-function correlations in hybrid nanomaterials.

We are excited about understandings the fundamental Physics at nanoscale and their applications. Our group’s expertise includes the state-of-the-art synchrotron based X-ray scattering technique for structural and dynamical studies such as Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), Grazing Incidence SAXS (GISAXS), X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) and interfacial Rheology.

Group Research Keywords:

  • Soft Matter, Nanomaterials, Colloids and Glassy Materials, Biomolecules.
  • Self-Assembly, Surfaces and interfaces, Biomembrane-Nanoparticle interactions
  • X-ray Scattering (SAXS, GISAXS, XPCS).
  • Bulk and Interfacial Rheology
