Under the aegis of the Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC), we are going to organize an online workshop jointly with our collaborators at Purdue University on the theme “Fluidics involving deformable interfaces” between July 26 and August 8, 2021.
Confirmed speakers:
- Prof. Dominic Vella (Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford)
- Prof. David Smith (School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham, UK)
- Prof. Moran Bercovici (Mechanical Engineering, Technion, Israel)
- Prof. Ivan C. Christov (Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University)
- Prof. Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty (Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur)
- Prof. Suman Chakraborty (Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur)
There is no registration fee.
We cordially invite faculty members, postdocs, and PhD students who are interested in problems involving both fluid and solid mechanics to attend the workshop. Additionally, postgraduate students and advanced undergraduate students are most welcome.
Kindly note:
Interested faculty members can directly contact Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty (jeevanjyoti4@gmail.com) for details regarding joining.
Postdocs, PhD students, and others are requested to register through this short Google form.
Details of joining the webinars will be notified after registration.
