The adoption of data-sciences within chemical engineering and materials science is primed to accelerate materials discovery and developments in molecular understanding. Yet, this movement is still dominated by information originating from molecular modelling, or from physical data that is acquired from legacy sources (e.g. databases, literature mining) accumulating decades of careful experimental work. In order to advan...

The institution’s Innovation Council (IIC), Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE), Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has conducted a number of workshops to train students about various intricacies of the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

In contrast to their peptide counterparts, on peptoids the sidechain is bonded to the backbone nitrogen resulting in a flexible omega backbone dihedral that is able to isomerize into both stable cis- and trans- backbone conf...

Fluids are vital to all life forms, and organisms have presumably adapted their behaviors or features in response to mechanical forces on the body to achieve better performance. In this talk, I will discuss two biological problems in which animals exploit mechanics principles. First, we investigated how animals transport water into the mouth using an inertia-driven (lapping) mechanism. Dogs accelerate the tongue upward (...

Taking advantage of the precise control over the fluid flows in microchannels, droplet microfluidics has enjoyed a tremendous success in enabling synthesis of highly uniform and uniquely structured liquid droplets and gas bubbles. Although some successes in translating microfluidic-based assays and diagnostics to commercial technologies have been achieved, few examples of such translations in the domain of materials manuf...
