Arunjunai Raja Shankar Santha Kumar
Polymerization in Green Solvents Research Project Summary: I am working on the controlled radical polymerisation of acrylates and methacryaltes. In particular, I study RAFT polymerisation in Ionic liquids. Ionic liquids are used both as solvents as well catalysts in polymerization process. Also, I study the influence of power ultrasound in the synthesis of polymers. Overall, the project is aimed at integrating Green chemistry and Sustainability in …

Padma Naveena
Research summary: Anterior Cruciate Liagament (ACL) is one of the major ligaments at the knee and is highly susceptible to injury in sports. The number of ACL Reconstruction (ACLR) surgeries have increased in the last few years especially in younger population. My current research work focuses on evaluating the effects of ACLR in day to day activities. Project Duration: 2016-2021 Supervisors: The University of Melbourne: …

Abhisek Mondal
Research summary: During my PhD I will investigate the transport phenomenon of the surface modified bimetallic iron nanoparticles through the porous media with a special focus on the identification of the mechanism or mechanisms controlling the mobility of the nanoparticle. In particular, I am exploring the effect of solution chemistry (i.e. pH, ionic strength and natural organic matter) relevant to subsurface geochemical …

Joydip Mondal
Research summary: During my PhD, I plan to investigate the physics behind jets and shockwaves induced by multi-bubble interaction. Examining the possible wear on materials due to such mechanistic effects but at different temperatures poses some interesting challenges. For this purpose, my work aims to develop a numerical model, that is supported by experimental evidence pertaining to bubble-interaction near solid. The results …

Shreshtha Kumar Gupta
Research Summary: During my Doctoral research, my aim will be focus on the investigation of near-wall combustion phenomena/flame-wall interaction which is found in almost all the practical combustors. It has various adverse effects such as the reduction in combustion efficiency, increase in pollutant emissions, and lowering in combustor liner (or wall) life. In particular, I will be focussing on to gain the …
