Nanofluidic Lab | Kalyan Raidongia

Highly motivated students having CSIR or UGC-JRF willing to work in the areas of water and energy can contact us for the special admission for PhD program under CSIR/UGC-JRF Scheme. Link : Click here

Our group is motivated to explore the properties of materials confined at nanometer length-scale and to exploit them for technological applications. Special attention is directed towards the understanding of liquid flow at nanoscale.

Unveiling the new properties and phenomena of confined liquids continues to thrill us, and we intend to join this race. One of the main obstacles in this field is the expensive material processing and growth instruments required for the fabrication of nanofluidic devices. Our group works towards the development of new strategies for the large-scale fabrication of ultra-small nanofluidic channels in cost-effective ways.

We actively bear in mind that our cutting-edge research program should lead at the same time to over-all growth of our scientific aptitude.
