Acoustic tweezers were used to manipulate single cancer cells inside a micro-milled channel. The design and flow pattern of buffer and cell suspension was optimized to obviate problems such as air bubbles, leakage, opacity of microwells. In another study, the effect of convection on drug uptake by a tumor inside microwell was modeled using COMSOL.
Experiments on sessile droplet evaporation and buckling of the nanoparticle-loaded droplet were studied using a high-speed camera. Novel ways of understanding evaporation modes in former case and quantification of daughter cavity in the latter case were explored.
An online ideation challenge which invited ideas to prototype a novel weeding strategy around railway tracks in France. We devised a network of swarm robots with smart mapping and ecofriendly spraying mechanism. The virtual prototype was applauded with 2nd rank and € 4500 prize in this global competition.
A fundamental study of sessile droplet evaporation motivated us to formulate a universal representation mechanism of understanding droplet evaporation modes (CCA, CCR, SS). The results are published in PLoS One.
Objective: To fabricate and model microbial fuel cells with optimized channel designs.
Industry: Tata Steel, Jamshedpur plant effluents will be tested as feedstock for the fuel cell.
To explain the self- propulsion of cellulose nanocrystal & iron nanoparticles loaded micromotors due to pH gradient inside hydrogen peroxide. An analytical model based on Anderson 1989 is used to verify experiments with the aid of COMSOL simulations.
A course project on experimenting with the granular beads suspension inside a self-fabricated millifluidic channel. With utter frugality, we devised an experimental setup to validate the plug formation.
A computational model was devised to simulate physics of a water droplet falling on a hydrophobic substrate. The work was presented as a poster in Reflux, 2016.
Developed a MATLAB based GUI to do the 2-D analysis of stress and strain of a given material. Various factors: factor of safety, mechanical failure of material etc. were evaluated
The project was all about a robot which could move according to the movement of hands which is sensed by mouse sensor. We used the pyautoGUI and pyserial module, servo motors, omni wheels and PID algorithm to accomplish the target
Attended this microfluidics conference and interacted with pioneers of Soft Matter field.
Our team got trained for implementing Blue Ocean Strategy by mentors from HEC Paris. We collaborated with professionals of office furniture companies. The product prototype was made by incorporating products from AI & VR sector and taking customer's feedback through their real-time reactions.
Selected amongst top 150 students in India to attend a science symposium which was presided by 9 Nobel Laureates. The event was part of global Vibrant Gujarat Summit.
Designed a rubber belt for the wood stove which can take waste heat from its surface to produce electricity and power small devices. With the help of mentor, we worked till semi-finals.
Proposed the design of biogas reactor for the institute. The design was based on Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Finally, the methodology was appraised and First position was secured.
