Speaker Name: Prof. Aloke Kumar (IISC Bangalore) Date: 03-09-2025 (Wednesday) Time: 2:30 PM Venue: LC002 Abstract: Coalescence of liquid drops is an energy minimization phenomenon in which two drops merge to attain a thermodynamically stable coalesced state. This process is widely observed across a diverse range of natural and industrial processes and in the lab can be studied in three

In natural biological systems, self-organization occurs at multiple scales—from molecular self-assembly, organization of cytoskeletal elements, collective migration of cells to flocking of birds. In recent decades, advancements in microscopy, genetic engineering, biochemistry, and computational modeling have enabled us a more quantitative description of these processes. In this talk, I will show

My expertise and research interest lie in the field of fluid mechanics. The common theme of my research is the dynamics of liquid-gas interface or free surface ranging from micrometer to planetary length scale. The dynamics of free surfaces is particularly interesting to me as it is crucial in the transportation of various physical quantities. In smaller length scales, where surface tension is
