Chemical Engineering
The fabrication of large area polymer structures with feature sizes ranging from few microns down to the molecular level is key to various technologically important areas, examples of which include molecular electronics, flexible display screens, optical sensors, structural colour, reusable super adhesives, super hydrophobic and self-cleaning surfaces, scaffolds for tissue engineering etc. The meso scale, which ranges from a few nm to few microns, interfaces the molecular and the macroscopic worlds. Thus, it becomes possible to observe simultaneous signatures of molecular interactions as well as macroscopic effects at these length scales, often giving rise to exciting new phenomena. The success of the desired applications, harvesting the extraordinary scientific phenomena occurring at these length scales, depends strongly on the availability of suitable, easy to implement patterning techniques that can create defect-free structures over large areas followed by their accurate characterization.

About Instructor
Prof. Rabibrata Mukherjee is presently a Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. He obtained his PhD from IIT Kanpur in the year 2007. He joined IIT Kharagpur in the Department of Chemical Engineering as an Assistant Professor in 2009 and became a Professor in 2018. Prior to joining IIT Kharagpur, he was a Scientist at CSIR - Central Glass & Ceramic Research Institute, between 1997 and 2009. He is an internationally recognized expert in soft nano patterning and thin film instability, with specific emphasis on ordering and arranging objects by confined self organization at the nano and meso scale. He has been awarded the CSIR Young Scientist Award in 2007, the MRSI Medal in 2014, and the SERB – STAR Award 2020. He is presently, the Chairman of DST funded Sophisticated Analytical and Technical Help Institute (SATHI) at IIT Kharagpur. He is an extremely popular teacher in IIT Kharagpur, where he teaches several core and elective courses both at the Under-graduate and the Post-graduate level. Prof. Arnab Atta is presently an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. After receiving his bachelor and master of Chemical Engineering degrees from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, he accomplished his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from IIT Delhi, New Delhi as a National Doctoral Fellow. Prior to joining IIT Kharagpur in 2013, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Alberta, Canada. His research interest is inclined toward developing computational models for a range of applications in multiphase flow and systems at different length scales.
