Project : Studies of Transport Phenomenon in a Complex Plasmas

PhD Dissertation : Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Studies of Transport Phenomenon in a Complex Plasmas Derived an autocorrelation function for spontaneous density fluctuations for strongly coupled complex plasma using the generalized hydrodynamic framework. Corroborated the analytical results with computational modelling using kinetic simulations of complex plasma using high-performance computing (HPC) platform. Commissioned an experimental device based on conceptual design to perform relevant laboratory experiments for validating the previously obtained analytical and computational results. Developed plasma diagnostics for experiments including electrostatic probes and fast speed imaging for particle imaging velocimetry. Experimentally studied temperature gradient driven transport of particles leading to pattern formations in dusty plasma. Upgraded the experimental setup to multi-dimensional dusty plasma configurations for studying wave-wave non-linear interactions.

Project : Dyanmics on Complex Networks

Numerically solved a non-integrable system of coupled oscillators using an adaptive RK-45 method. Critical stability analysis and bifurcation points are obtained for coupled Harmonic oscillators and Kuramoto Oscillators.

Summer Internship

Project : Study of Metamaterial Based Radiation Absorbers for Microwave Applications Performed computer simulations using the CST microwave studio propagation of microwaves through different cells. Absorption and reflection coefficients of waves on various structure of cells is obtained from S-parameters. Compared the absorption characteristics of microwaves for different structural parameters of cells to optimize designs for radiation absorbing applications.
