The project aims at developing a comprehensive model, currently lacking in the literature, for simultaneous electroporation and electrodeformation in vesicles and excitable (such as Neurons and Cardiomyotcytes) and non-excitable nucleate and anucleate cells, relevant in electroporation for cancer treatment. On the other spectrum of soft matter, the code will also be extended to droplet electrohydrodynamics relevant in crude oil refining. The simulatino platform will be in-house Boundary Integral code, as well as COMSOL Multiphysics and other open source softwares. The project will be theoretical and numerical in nature, but the student will have plent of access to the experiemnts being conducted in Prof Thaokar's lab.
