Nanoparticle-encapsulated microfibers as vehicles for targeted drug delivery

Microfluidics provides a facile platform for generation of several biomaterials such as particles, capsules, microfibers, etc. The versatility of microfluidics based methods arises from the ability to control size, morphology, and composition of the generated entities. In this project the student will use microfluidic devices to generate drug and nanoparticle encapsulated microfibers for targeted drug delivery in pancreatic cancer. The encapsulated nanoparticles (iron oxide) will allow magnetic based controlled release of the drug to the targeted site.

Multiscale CFD simulations of viscoelastic turbulence

With modern-day computers and several open-source CFD packages, it is today quite straightforward to simulate Newtonian flows. Even for turbulent flows, several well-tested and efficient algorithms are available, so that reasonably high-Re Newtonian turbulence can be simulated on a personal laptop. The situation is dramatically different for Non-Newtonian flows, however, and their accurate simulation, especially in turbulent settings, remains an outstanding challenge.

Optimizing Lithium-Ion Battery Cycles for Maximised Lifetime and Safety

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are crucial to support targets set by India’s Nationally Determined Contributions of about 50% from the non-fossil fuel based resources, particularly for the intermittently available renewable energy such as solar and wind power. The performance and lifespan of LIBs are limited by the irreversible degradation in the physical processes that undergo at the electrode level of each battery cell.  These are greatly influenced by the nature of charging (from renewable sources) and discharging (load demand) cycles.

Research Scholars' Symposium 2025

The RSS, initiated in 2007, is an annual flagship academic event organized by the research scholars of the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay. Patronized by the Chemical Engineering Association (ChEA), RSS serves as a premier platform for showcasing cutting-edge research, provides a unique opportunity for networking and knowledge exchange among students, researchers, faculty, and industry professionals.
