Dear friends, the updated version of the Open Day Poster is here. QR codes for the registration and location of the department are now added for additional convenience. We hope to see you all and have a wonderful and fruitful time together!

Open Day at IISc Bangalore Lab students presented demonstrations on Bernoulli's principle, Marangoni flow, boiling, and many more. Thanks to all lab members for their hard work and dedication in making this event a success.

📢 Excited to share our Physical Review Fluids paper with Prof. Ranabir Dey’s group at IIT Hyderabad! We study active droplets in tight microconfinements using experiments & simulations. Thanks to Anusandhan National Research Foundation & I-STEM: Linking Researchers & Resources call! #ActiveDroplets #Microswimmers journals.aps.org/prfluids/abstr…

When active droplets squeeze through increasingly narrow microchannels, their shape changes from spherical to capsule-like, and the hydrodynamic signature shifts from symmetric, quadrupolar to an asymmetric velocity field. More, by Guchhait et al., at go.aps.org/42qjAeb

📢 Excited to share our Physical Review E paper with Prof. Pallab Sinha Mahapatra’s group at IIT Madras! Using MPCD simulations, we show how microswimmers get trapped or escape in crowded spaces. Thanks to Anusandhan National Research Foundation & Ministry of Education! journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…

📢 Excited to share our latest paper in EPJE! We use reinforcement learning to guide microswimmers in Poiseuille flow by tuning their tumbling and swinging behavior. Thanks to Anusandhan National Research Foundation for funding! #Microswimmers #ActiveMatter 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.114…

We’re pleased to share that CompFlu 2025 will be held at IISc Bangalore from December 13–17, 2025. The pre-conference workshop is scheduled for December 13–14, followed by the main conference from December 15–17. #compflu2025 IISc Bangalore

Congratulations Prof. Suman Chakraborty Sir
