Research Interest

Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee's research focuses primarily on developing soft microfluidic devices for widesread applications ranging from engineering to medical domain. He is particulaly interested in hanessing the fluid-structure interaction at small scales from both fundamental perspective as well as application viewpoint. Apart from this, he is also interested in multiphase flows with specific focus on the motion of active droplets and particles.
